We walked in the 4th of July parade with the girl scouts again this year. This was the first parade Matthew has been able to go to, thanks to his new job! We came home and relaxed the rest of the day and then went to Terry and Jenny's for a potluck and to play games. Sadly, none of us were interested in the fireworks so we skipped them.
We knew Lanie was close and it only took 3 swimming lessons with Abby for her to get her deep water pass. She was VERY proud and excited.
Took Mom and Dad down to Prairie Meadows for the buffet and horse races. All of us used coins at the table to make bets and had fun together. Matthew bet for real and ended up ahead too.
Summer fun! Carter spent a lot of time with friends this summer fishing, driving around, hanging out, swimming. We bought Lanie a 3 foot tall pool for our yard, which unfortunately didn't get used very much but she loved it when Kaleigh or Carter would get in with her.
Our annual Iowa Cubs baseball game. We bought a family 4-pass for a Sunday that came with pop, pizza, and baseball hats. It was a warm one but a great game!
July's camping trip took us to southwestern Iowa near Council Bluffs in the Loess Hills. We stayed at Hitchcock Nature Center in a 1 room cabin. We went on a couple hikes, spent time at Manawa State Park, went into Council Bluffs to see the train museum and downtown area, and played lots of games together. Carter, Lanie and I paddle boarded for the first time, I loved it!
