We painted “Welcome” on our driveway as we waited for extended family to arrive!

We have had a great summer break with our kids home from school!!!  We packed in great adventures, time with our extended families, camps, Vacation Bible School, lots of memories, fun, history, road trips, flights, and much more!  So thankful for a wonderful time with our family.    Thanks for being patient with me as I enjoyed extra time with my family.  It is my intention of getting back on schedule here soon.  I will be posting some pictures of our summer fun soon!

Our first big summer adventure was having Jake’s sister and her family come stay with us for a week.  They arrived on the same day the girls got out of school.  We had a blast!  As an added bonus of fun we also got to see Jake’s cousins who live in the area several times throughout the week as well.  Thankful for family and fun times together!

Playing the Jelly Belly game “Bean Boozled” with extended family!  Everyone is waiting with anticipation to see if Aunt Cindy got a good flavor!

Snow cones were a hit with the kids one hot afternoon!
