Saying Goodbye to July

 July was quickly coming to a close, and the kids had just a few weeks left before they'd be heading back to school.  Time to make the most of this summer!

Of course, there was more horsing around with Penny, who happily wore her fly mask to keep the pesky critters out of her eyes.

Lucie came for a visit and immediately claimed the very back seat in the van.

Jason took nightly walks around the property with Koda.

The goats made it their mission to not only look super cute, but also eat all the bark off of this tree that they could reach.

Big storms rolled through...

and left us with beautiful rainbows.

My favorite plant bloomed, gifting us with its amazing scent!

Jason's friends came to town for some much needed bro time and they had fun golfing and catching up.

Our neighbors held their annual summer bash where there was an epic Cornhole tournament.  Brady and I managed to come away as the big winners!

And Nash played outside until he was completely played out.

Flint Junior Golf came to a close, and Nash ended the year in sixth place in the top division.  To celebrate, we brought his scooter along so he could check out this awesome urban skate park in Flint.


We hadn't been blueberry picking in a few years, so we headed out one morning to fill our buckets.  In less than thirty minutes, I think we had more bug bites than blueberries, and we had to get out of there!  We did manage to pick enough to make a couple of pies, though!



While we were playing the days away here in Michigan, Owen was at Camp Lejeune, learning how to drive one of these!


It was another week filled with lots of little things, but we all found ways to have fun.  If you know me, it was time for a change of scenery, so I packed up some of the kids and made it to the lake, just in time to catch one of those Northern Michigan sunsets.

With that, we said goodbye to July and August was here.  That was fast-wasn't it just the Fourth of July?
