Summer

This is way overdue. But here it is anyway. After school got out, we headed north to visit Grandma and Grandpa. We went to Waterton National Park and hiked and threw rocks and played. It was a very nice beginning to the summer!

 

All three kids took swimming lessons this year. It was Eli’s first year in swimming and the first day he was pretty nervous getting in the water. But he did great! Everyday I had him go to the bathroom before class but, without fail, 5-10 minutes in, he would have to get out to go again. Ha! Super cute. The girls took off and by the end of the summer, Emma graduated level 3, Kaylee is in level 3 and Eli is in level 2. Pretty good work!

We were able to go to Choteau to visit the Stott’s ranch and see the baby goats. The kids loved that, especially Kaylee who “loves all animals!”

We played outside in the sprinklers lots to beat the heat.

We went back to Choteau for the fourth of July. The kids loved collecting huge bags of candy during the parade. Then we had a BBQ and went swimming at the ranch with the horses. We loved swimming with the horses. I think that was definitely a highlight of our summer!

And, last thing for this post, we went camping with some friends. Our campsite had a little path down to a creek and swimming hole. It was like a little piece of paradise.

Sorry for all of the collages, that’s what happens when there’s this much catch up! It was a really great summer, I miss it already.
