Even more July activities

Joshua and his family left after two weeks but Isaac and his family got to stay longer.  It's really been great having them all around.

Things did get a lot quieter in the house.  Joslyn taking a peaceful moment to draw on etch-a-sketch.

But never too quiet with Joslyn and Dorian around.

It hasn't been all fun and play though.  Dorian and Joslyn kept the garden boxes free of weeds and picked up pine cones out of the yard.  And one day Joshua's family mowed the lawn for us.

But there's always time for a little fun with the sprinklers, especially on a hot day.  Joslyn and Dorian.

Joslyn and Dorian know how to enjoy themselves.

One day Joshua invited Isaac and I to go on a hike with him, Ethan, Elliott and Christian.  We climbed the trail up Mt. Si.  It was really really hard.  About 7 miles roundtrip.

We made it though.  Elliott and Christian on a rock at the top of the trail.

And one day Talitha invited us to the lake.  It was sunny and nice and just a great place to relax and enjoy summer.  Talitha with Joslyn and Isaac with Dorian.
