2015 Week Twenty-Eight | July 6 - July 12

Picnic lunches must be followed by walks in the park. 

Tuesday the public library had an event at the PD horse barn. 

We got to get up close and pet the horses and hear all about the training they go through. 

Then after we headed to Jones Bros. Cupcakes where they were hosting the minions for what was then the upcoming movie. 

And of course we had to buy some to eat... with more frosting on them than cupcake. 

Which is the way they taste the best. 

She slept pretty much every night of the summer in Ian's room, on a mattress on the floor. And then brother went to cub scout camp and she had to sleep in her own bed. Found her sleeping with all her friends in bed. Guess she didn't want to get lonely. 

Ian went to cub scout camp for the weekend. Darrin was able to go along (it was strongly encouraged for a parent to go) and a plus side of that for me was Darrin was able to snap lots of pictures so I can document his first camp experience. Here is was in the robotics portion of camp. 

Swimming at camp. 

And fishing.

And spending time with friends.

And boating.

And his favorite, archery.

While the boys were at camp, Annaliese and I attended a book reading of "Black Day" the book our friend Noah illustrated. 

And then we helped out at the monster cookie table (the book has Halloween costumes that come to life... they could be considered monsters).

Unknown to Ian and Annaliese, Grandma, Grandpa, Cara, and Oliver were coming to visit. They got in Saturday afternoon and surprised Annaliese, who I had strategically out in the drive waiting. Ian was surprised to see them on Sunday when he came home. It wasn't long after all were home that everyone was in the pool.
