Catching Up on Summer - June

June started off with cooler weather than usual so we did not do as much swimming as we normally do with school out and hot weather. We startrd picking green beans & tomatoes, eating red & blue potatoes, and anticipating the corn. Sadly we realized it was going to be ready while we were to be gone on a 10 day trip in July. We got home and it was too late. Maybe next year. We did find out later in the summer that a family of racoons had taken up residence in the tank house and were enjoying it! At least something did!

Katie, Cohen & Titus came for a few weeks. Gma Boone put up her pool and they did swim a little then. The cousins had lots of fun spending time at Gma's house. Good memories!

Linday turned 4 at the end of the month and we had a little party with family at Gpa & Gma Boones. She was pretty excited with all of it!

Brooke finished up softball and Ryan Tball this month. It always makes for a busy 2 1/2 months! Ryan will (finally) be in baseball next year. No sad goodbyes for Tball from me. But he had alot of fun anyways. Brooke played first base again this year and has enjoyed being with most of the same girls every year except for a few new ones who come and go each year. Friendships are so very important at this time in life...she loves hanging out with friends!



We got our first pets; 3 baby kitties from our neighbors. Anyone with kitties understands how much fun it is to watch them play and they are just about the cutest thing. If only they stayed so cute. After much name changing around (is it a boy, no, maybe a girl?), we had Mator, Carmel & Mitten. Sadly over the next month Mitten became the lone survivor. We weren't used to checking under cars when backing out! :)

We did go camping over Father's Day with my family and since the weather was cooler we stayed at our campsite more than we went out boating. Stephen went rock hunting more than once and the girls found plenty of wildflowers. Morgan was concerned about the food she had in her tent because of bears and Stephen was not. We found out a bear had been at our campsite the night before we got there and someone showed us a picture of it! Not so comforting and the food did not stay in her tent! :)

My camera started having problems and wouldn't stay charged while we were there. So, no pics. :(
