Turtle Races

This weekend at my parents house we held the First Annual DryCreek Turtle Races.  # 23 on our Summer Bucket List.  So much fun!  All the kids decorated their own turtles with a little help.

We finished the night of with fireworks!  The first one that went off Kevin responded with “Holy Cow!”  After that Jackson would say “COW!!” each time one went off.

Red, White, and Blue Raspberry

Snow cone that is!  Today we went to a Fourth of July celebration at the park with our playgroup.  Dressed in our festive red, white and blue.  Jackson enjoyed a Blue Raspberry snow cone and participated in a parade.

Someone had worked up an appetite.

Peach Picking

This past Sunday we got out of the house bright and early to do some peach picking before it got too hot! #3 on our Summer Bucket List.  Jackson was more interested in the tractor this year.  So Kevin and I did most of the picking and Logan helped out a little.
