This month was mixed with some extreme highs and lows! The end of the school year closed out, we got to go an the awesome Ag & Art Tour, Zoo Night, and had some little adventures in-between.
We had a special (and sweaty) time celebrating Uncle Aaron's father's life, Kevin.
After a lot of play on the playground, we had a big picnic lunch together.
Followed by a time sharing special memories about Kevin. It was special hearing all the great stories about him.
I didn't realize Shiloh didn't fully understand what was going on when she went up and shared on the microphone how she enjoys her own grandma making cookies. I just held my breath, prayed that she would be quick and then motioned her to come back as soon as I could. Aaron's mother was very gracious in her response.

We were in Spartanburg (their home town), so we stopped by a local coffee house on the way home to check it out.
There were a couple of fun little things to explore...
Then on the way home poor Shi still fighting the motion sickness but fortunately fell asleep (with a throw-up bag at the ready).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After one rough Sunday (was pretty worn out from the day before)....Beach brought me avocado toast in bed.
My little visitor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The last co-op date with these two....sigh....the end of an era! They have become such good little playmates!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We actually had a great time at the dentist, with no cavities, little wait time, a friendly staff and lots of prizes to go home with!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then it was on to the library for their summer kick off reading program.
The girls are really into the climbing wall!
They got to try their hand at archery, too, which was a fun novelty.
Glitter tattoos.
And a hug from a friendly cow. (Zoe had already picked out some books to read!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Somebody's big sister got Ezra to dress up! It is a little eerie how much he looks like Zoe at that age!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fig hosted their latest release party, which means always a good time for a date night!
Cheers to you my dear.
So I ended up splurging on eating some of this ice cream sandwich. First dairy/gluten I have had in forever and it was yummy!
Thankful for a night out with my love!
Check out the latest fig to see more of Beach in action.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Despite her (very) loud screams and squeals, silly Shiloh loves all types of animals and insects.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trying to pick back up with the one on one dates with the littles.
Beach and Zoe were the first up to go together.
Zoe's first ice skating experience and she loved it.
She attempted to lift her leg like she saw the big girls doing! I would say it was a successful time together!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the summer bucket list....homemade ice-cream! Check! Zoe said it was the best dessert she ever had (and so easy with just frozen bananas, a can of coconut milk, and vanilla and some chocolate chips mixed in).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The library often has some fun events happening during the summer. The first one up was a type of magic show.
Zoe was happy to participate and her card ended up being part of the trick!
Girls can't pass up the photo opt set up!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Summer time calls for staying up late and the occasional nap with my middle!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The girls enjoyed their first week of VBS at Riverland Hills.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another VBS in the books that they really enjoyed!
They had a photographer around for a few days and captured some fun shots!
Acting out Bible Stories...
And dance lessons!
Zoe showed off her new skills of violin playing at our family dinner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mom's cousin and boyfriend were in town visiting so they got to see the show!
Such a good time, I wish I had gotten other pictures!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Little man was my voting buddy and, thus, got two stickers for that smile!
The last part of the month was a getaway with my love! So thankful to have a couple of "normal energy" weeks to feel like a person again!
