Summa Time!

This is a mishmash of the last couple weeks.  I've said it before and I'll say it again....I LOVE summer.  The spontaneity, the simplicity, the heat, just pretty much everything.

So, here are some of the things we have been enjoying.

Fishing in the evenings ~

All creatures great and small ~

Mags, they kiss every frog they catch...you know, just in case!

Daddy and his crew on Father's Day ~

Annika reminded me we need to take a picture, then let the butterfly go ~

Kath's cottontail that she was going to raise ~

It mysteriously escaped one night.

Morning walks ~

Frog races ~

Testing out Uncle Steve's new zipline ~

Rafting the Blackfoot with Uncle Ben ~

Oh, Uncle Ben, is it scary?

Kath is always one of the first in the water!

Waiting for the right moment ~

Still waiting ~

And still waiting ~

Yay!

Uncle Ben promised he'd be right behind Annika ~

Nickles thinks there is no better thrill ride than rafting!

One another ~

The girl cousins ~

Grandpa and the babies ~

Mud and the boy cousins ~

The 4th of July ~

Family, friends, fireworks and freedom ~

Grandma's lap ~

Saturday Farmers' Market ~

Another creature....a baby killdeer ~

A Sunday hike ~

Picking bouquets ~

Grandpa & the boys ~

"Alright, are you selling postcards?"
