June Happenings

Another picture update of the month.  Better than nothing right?  We're running around like crazy here.  We had a superintendent quit without notice and we've been scrambling to keep things going.  Poor Jake is basically doing everything himself.  I've been helping him a lot more, which is hard to juggle with the kids being home.  Every day feels like a non-stop sprint until we climb into bed exhausted.  We are managing to have some fun, but so far this summer wins the award for being the busiest ever!

Some of the kids from the mountain bike team (and yes we got Kate a new helmet)

Sage talked Kate into playing with her at the park

Lots of mountain biking happening around here

The water main leak we had from last year happened again.  Yay.  This time we dug it out with the tractor and it better be for reals fixed.

Red Ledges got a new pool that we've been taking advantage of.

Our first, and last, weekly summer hike.  Every summer I say we're going to hike every week, and every summer it doesn't happen.

Learning how to change a tire.  I'm now a pro.

A short summer hike we did go on.

Super cool spot just packed with boulders.

Sage has a club every week.  This week for the club they made a cute poster and hearts and took it to this older lady who lives by us.

We talked Sage in to doing a mountain bike race.

She looks like she's having fun, but seconds after this picture she threw her bike down and started crying.

Jake racing

Lemonade stand.  They made $40 in 2 hours

We did manage to go camping one night.  Jake planned all the meals and they were way better than anything I would have done!

Sage told me exactly where to stand for this picture. 

One baby fish caught

Someone was nice enough to set up a slack line for us to play on.

Look closely.  Those are potatoes wrapped in bacon, filled with deliciousness.  With steak.  Done by Jake.

We finally got the hammock up

Jake takes me on really long mountain bike rides.  This one was 17 miles.  Beautiful though.
