The Rest of July in a Nutshell

 Elli absolutely loves gymnastics.  Micah also had a great time joining her.  He is a hard one to keep still.
 Not super attractive of Gloria, but the cousins sure have enjoyed spending time together this summer.
 These are the moments that melt my heart.  I love that they love each other.
 Happy Birthday, Caleb Masters.  He sure is a special boy and our whole family loves this guy.
 The kids set up a great game of capture the flag.
 The girls even got to play!
 As always, Sherry put on a great spread.  Fun idea for a party.
 Elli, Emilee, and Micah use sidewalk chalk to draw/write their memories of the summer.  Elli drew a picture of me getting pulled over and ticketed by a cop on a motorcycle.  Micah also loved the memory of those shiny lights and "weee-ooo-weee-ooo."  Nice.
 This stroller is one of the greatest investments.  Elli loved/loves it and now Micah is enjoying it as well.
 For Andrew's birthday we got to go to Sky Zone.  The kids absolutely loved it!!!!  So much fun.
 Micah kept following Cody around despite the fact that he was not supposed to be on the same trampoline.
 Elli was bouncing up to the walls.
 The gang of fun kids.  Raymonds, Masters, Hollins, Vachas, and us.
 The garden this year was great.  Lots of produce.  More green beans than we could eat/freeze.  Delicious though.
 We went to the Greene County Fair.  Lily got to come with us.  It was a fun night and the kids had a great time riding rides.
 Micah couldn't wait to ride on this "wallacockey!"
 Though he looks  little scared, he loved this roller coaster and wanted "me" (more)
 Cathy Hollin's brother, Chip, (who died earlier this year) was honored at the race track where he often raced his horses.  We were there in time to see the memorial to him.  Glad we got to see this.
 Lily was not sure she wanted to ride this ride, but Elli begged her to ride.  She did and then absolutely loved it:)
 While I went with the girls to try to find a game to play, Brent let Micah ride the cars.  He really had a blast. I did however have to teach Elli and Lily what it meant to have someone trick you.  They ended up playing a game that was impossible to win and didn't get any prizes.  They were both very sad, but it was a good learning opportunity.  We took them out for ice cream and I gave Lily her money back:)  I was too sad.
 The animals are always fun to see. Micah was pointing out all the poop!
 We went to Heather's the next day for a swim.  Elli and Lily were happy to have each other to play with.
 These two followed each other around trying to catch butterflies.
Look at that sweetness.  They really are a hoot to watch.
