I didn't take as many pictures as normal this month - just busy living life.  Now onto August and cramming in the last of the summer fun before school begins. 

 

Bye-bye June

Wow.  July 1st.  Already. 

I didn't take as many pictures as normal but here is the recap of June's crazy chaotic fun:

 

2.5 days in Washington D.C.  7 days in Outer Banks, North Carolina.  Broken sewer line.  Library craft program.  Girl's lunch craft day. 7 baseball games.  6 softball games.  Drive-In for Incredibles 2.  Grand Rapids visit.  Water balloon fight.  Family cook out.  Father's Day Game Day.  Garage sale.  Camping trip.  10 days of swim lessons.  2 golf outings.  1 Adopt a Highway clean up.  Swimming in the new city pool.  Swimming in the neighbors pool.  Swimming in Uncle Russ's pool.  Ridiculous amounts of ice cream.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good-bye June, bring on July's festivities and fun!

 

I don't get it

On the way to a softball game tonight, the kids were taking turns telling jokes.  First there was the knock-knock jokes.  Then came the chicken crossing the road jokes.  And then came the corny jokes like

"How do you make a tissue dance?  You put a little boogie in it."

It was Bree's turn.  She asked:

 

"What animal don't you want to play cards with?"

 

Without hesitation, without missing a beat, like it was poised there on the tip of his tongue Jacob replies..

 

"A hungry duck."

 

Ummmm..... what?  Like.... what?!

 

He'll play cards with a lion or a hippo or a rhinoceros but a hungry duck? 

The line is drawn there. 

I don't get it either, Bree.



FYI:  The answer is...  You never want to play cards with a 'cheetah'.

 

Beginnings and Endings

My day started with this view:

 

And ended with this view:

It's a good thing that corn is my favorite crop or else I would be disappointed.

 

Exhausted

This movie night is brought to you by 'Tomb Raider' and a whole bunch of exhausted adults, run ragged by a week of hot tubing, swimming, beaching, kayaking, fishing, sight seeing, putt-putting, reading, shopping, and eating way too much seafood.  Vacations are hard.

Bright and Early

This sunrise is brought to you by waking up at 5am... on vacation.... at Southern Shores, Outer Banks, North Carolina

 

Tranquil

This tranquil, old-school Tuesday night is brought to you from the Outer Banks.

 

Hum-Drum Monday

This ho-hum, hum-drum Monday is brought to you from the Outer Banks.
