July

We started off July celebrating the 4th with the parade on Grand Island.  Then Papa Jim came later in the day.  We went on a couple bike rides and watched the fireworks from the post office right up the street.

From July 8th through the 16th the kids and I went to Jenny's house to animal/house sit while they went to the Outer Banks.  The kids and I had a fun time taking care of the animals and doing a lot of fun local things in the forest.

Taking care of their bunnies!!

Jumping on the trampoline!

Bear Town Rocks with Grandma!

Fire Tower and Seneca Point!!

The kids climbed to the very top of the fire tower!!  

Other things we did throughout the week:   A bike ride down Toms Run, went to the Sawmill craft center, and hit up a yard sale where the kids found a few treasures.  Uncle Jeff  took us out on his boat at the Clarion River.  It was the firsts time the kids had ever been on a boat.  I got to water ski for the first time in years!  Everyone had a fun time! Took the kids to the Clarion Mall to see the new Minion Movie.  It was fun filled week!!!

Next we went camping in Papa Jim's back yard.  (June 20-22).  

We went on a really nice hike just down the road from his house.  

The next weekend we actually went back to Papa Jim's to camp again!  We were helping him cut up some wood, and Carly and Cody were in Mercer with Ed and Anne because Jason and Heather were on an Anniversary trip in New England.
