The first month of summer has blown by at record speed!
We started our summer with some beach days at our favorite local spot. I took the kiddos a few times by myself but it's always a highlight when we can get their dad there!!
Ellie has a goal this summer to read 20 novels! In the first week she read these three and then I told her she had to pick a couple harder reads.
Lucy's goal is to read 1 novel/week so that will put her at 9-10 by the end of summer. First 2 down!
We spent the first week of summer cleaning the basement! I got all the storage rooms done and the girls rooms. Penny got to move out of Ellie's room into her own!
Lots of time spent moving animals around every day- between feed and predators it feels like we are constantly switching things up.
We have had crazy weather this summer!! This kids job is to move in and out the patio cushions! She has her work cut out for her!
Our friends took us out in their boat and the girls got to try knee boarding! They loved it!
Penny and Sawyer making it look easy!
We also got our boat out for a few days of family fun! The girls are tubing maniacs right now!
Trail rides. Penny is all over it this year! She has been doing great!
Summer games! The girls did so well! They brought home 18 medals all together!
Right after summer games we ran away to the lake. Got some much needed down time. We didn't take any of the mechanical toys so we spent a lot of time together just splashing and coloring and hanging out.
Penny is determined to learn to swim.
We made our annual trek to Fort Steele! So awesome! We got caught in a thunderstorm there. It was so nice!
Came home and got hammered with hail. Our vehicles have a few more dents and it broke a window on the house! But it was worth it to see Penny's face out there collecting hail! She has two bags of it saved in our freezer!
More riding- Lucy has started riding Pheonix and they are doing really well together!
Parade day! The girls ride to town to be in our local parade! They were a little tired from the night before when they rode sheep and wild pony races! Such a fun weekend! Parades, rodeos, ghost stories and wagon rides!
Penny started actual swim lessons! She loves it!
And more hay... Everything broke down so Andy's been out trying to keep things moving!
Lucy's last two novels she's read! So far she has read 5 novels in 4 weeks!
Ellie is at 10 novels and is half way to her goal!
