Last Little Bits of Summer (Aug)

When cleaning out the garage, we came across a well intended item we had purchased but got little use out of.
The kids were all about getting one more ride out it, despite them being so big!
Our neighborhood is full of hills, so it wasn't a long ride, but one complete with a finish line from the girls!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Such a beautiful worship CD release party from my amazing friend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kid party games....going on a hunt...
and collecting pigs along the way.
Ending up at the pool...
to find the treasure!
Also, bull riding to be done!
Happiest of birthdays sweet Silas.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When party favors are just as funny to mommy...
Makes waiting in doctor office waiting rooms that much more entertaining.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another fun birthday, this time at Pelicans.
So many smiles!
Then we crashed the after party at the firehouse!
Such a great idea!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Momma needed a touch up!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another day another library...
More reading metals for these cuties!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fun morning out with daddy for an art project at Home Depot.
I would say they had a great time.
  
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Game night with friends...
That's what I'm talking about...
Behind the scenes necessities to getting a good photo shot!
Happy campers!
But apparently meat sticks were needed as well...
Also, I need to do better in taking pictures of everyone there ;-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
End of summer reading party...
Go cocks!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An unusually cool drizzly morning had us at a little near by park...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Co-op day with cousins and dress up in order...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we went to the park on the wrong day of an event, we tried to make the most of it and take a little adventure walk.
In coming to a large field....cartwheels of sorts are in order.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A special celebration day with friends and I always forget to take pictures....so one random one.
And one with those of us who were left at the end...
So Lauren was photo shopped in ;-)  Skillfully and quickly I might add.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the parents play...the kids destroy the couch and watch a movie.
Little buddies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In cleaning out the garage (yet again), we found a slip and slide, which the kids tried out...

There was a learning curve for sure, but most of them enjoyed it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Loveland Coffee volunteered with our 1% for the planet partner, Congaree Riverkeeper, in cleaning up by a river site one Sunday afternoon.
We were able to take the kids with us and they got in on the action!

Pausing to take some nature (spider ) pictures along the way.



Many hands make light work and it was so fun serving with our fabulous team!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once school did start back....I enjoyed some quiet mornings in the park with my coffee and Bible!
So many fun little memories before school started back yet again!
