Summer Updates

So, we'll see how much I can cover. I was just so busy and all my pictures were stuck on my camera until last weekend. I know, sad. We had a great summer. At the very end of June I took the girls to my parents' home for a week. Lori and her kids were there and Sandy and Claire were there. We painted my mom's room and rearranged it. We went cherry picking, we played together. It was so much fun for all of the cousins to be together.

Then the following week Dan's family came up and we went and saw the Hill Cumorah Pageant with them. On our way back to Albany, we stopped at Watkin's Glenn and hiked it. It was beautiful. I think that the last time I was there, I was 10 or so? It was great. And then we went to Ithaca to the pool. I didn't go in, the water was about 62. Jocelyn touched the water and played a tiny bit in it with Dan. It was a great few days with his family.

In August we went to an apple picking place that had a kiddie play area. That's why we went. We had fresh blueberry ice cream. Jocelyn went down this slide that was 200 feet. She loved it and probably went down about 10 times. They also had a little train ride that we went on. She and Megan loved it. It was a great family day.

We were able to have K and S over for a sleep over this August. We had so much fun. They threw water balloons and ran through the sprinkler. Great thing for a hot day.

We went to a little beach for our play group. It was fun. But Jocelyn's shirt got wet, so I used my wrap to make a shirt for her. I thought it was adorable.

Dan was able to work on our swing set for the girls. He and a friend built it and it's great looking and very sturdy. I'm very proud of his work. We've had a great summer and are now loving the fall with cider and apple picking. Fun for us!!

I was able to make Jocelyn an apron as well. I've been promising her for a couple of months. I think it turned out well.

In a few weeks we will be celebrating Megan's first birthday. We are so loving her in our family. What a beautiful girl.
