June Update

I think the only thing I've taken a vacation from this month is taking pictures. We seem to have been busy every single moment, but I only have a few pictures. One of the highlights of the month was our camping trip to Victoria Bryant State Park with the cousins.

We took our two dogs and the Hamricks took one of theirs. Amazingly, they were all very well behaved. We did have some rain over the weekend (I think that was the last time it rained!) and at one point, all seven of us (2 adults, 3 children, 2 dogs) were in the truck trying to escape the downpour. You can imagine the yummy smell of wet dog and wet campers. Yum!

We did make a lot of great memories and the kids had a blast. We also left with a greater appreciation for being cool and dry.

This is my grandparents' room at their new assisted living facility. They spent the past six weeks living with my parents after my grandfather's recent hospitalization. After much consideration, it was determined that they needed more day-to-day care than they were receiving at their apartment. They moved into a new facility last week and seem to be settling in ok. This is their sitting area.


This is their bedroom and bathroom.

Here is a short video (taken especially for Jennifer, Alicia, and Katie):

This time next month, we will be digging back into school. Hopefully I will remember to take more pictures to document the second half of our summer!!!
