Family to a close

We have literally spent the last month straight with family. It's been a month jam-packed with fun, adventure, and bonding time. However, this chapter of our summer comes to a close tonight. As they say, "back to the grind!"
We will enjoy 1 more full week of leisurely summer routine before I'm back to work and fall persists. A few more moments from our last month to share before moving on.......
We discovered we LOVE watermelon! Mom is especially happy about it because it has a little fiber and 90% water!! Good summer snacking!
Kai thinks he's a big boy.....or a cowboy!!?!?
It's been awhile since I've had a pic taken with just my hubby. Love him. We spent an amazing day with family in the CO mountains. We remembered Derrick's mom, Leslie who passed away last fall, in a very special place around Red Feather Lakes. We had a picnic atop a beautiful overlook and hunted for mushrooms in the dense trees (something Great Grandpa Ed is teaching the little guys)!

Addie finally joining the family fun after a lengthy nap in the car!

We also got to spend 2 weeks with Uncle Garrett, Aunt Becky, Drew, Issac and Ella at camp. We all enjoyed warm summer nights grilling out, playing bach-ee ball, throwing waterballoons, playing with waterguns, hitting the sandbox, and exploring the surrounding forest. Here's a snapshot of everyone at Uncle Oaf's birthday party!

It was so special getting to know our nephews and niece and seeing the cousins play and bond. Can't wait till next time...... until then family.
