Mini-Vacation Part 1

We decided to take the kids on a mini-vacation since Doak is still too young to enjoy a full blow get-away. Our first stop was the Dinosaur Valley State Park. This was one of my favorite trips as a kid and the kids loved it just as much as I once did.

Swimming in the river was quite the experience!

Finding Dinosaur tracks was by far Wyatt's favorite thing!

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July. The kids decided to ride their bikes in the neighborhood parade this year. They had so much fun! I love this new family tradition!

Art Camp

This was Maddie's second summer taking an art camp at the NCCIL. She loves coming to this camp and she loved her art teachers. She will be taking another class at The Center for Contemporary Arts next month.
