July and random summertime happenings

When summer was in full swing

we were enjoying ourselves in various

ways.  We took a few boat trips this summer.

Not as many as I would have liked though.

We hit a couple of baseball games.

Here we are at the Saints game and a Twins game.

Summer would not be complete without mention of

the lumberjack days.  Best of all parade day!

This year was particularly great for the kids.

Tillie had her dear friend Avi over to watch the

festivities.  Matthew had his dear friend David over.

Wesley had his good friends from hockey over

and they all got in an epic water battle.

The kids downtown during Lumberjack days.

Parade Day!

 Mostly, this summer has been amazing 

because we were blessed with two more 

children on Tom's side of the family.

Little Azalea was born on July 8th

To Molly and Andrew

 and 

Little Archer was born on August 18th

To Matt and Lindsay

We love all our cousins!!!!

The boys also completed their first 

5K race.  They did the color run.

I'm not sure of their time, but the had a good one.

Keeping fresh with academics

The boys and Tillie would go to earth warriors

most Friday's.  Matthew had exceed hockey camp

three days a week. He also participated in YFA's 

fiddle camp.

This is how I remember July 2015 :)

until next time
