I was unable to upload this yesterday – Laura took a sewing class and made herself a new pillowcase! She has done lots of projects with my help; this was her first project done completely independently. She is rightfully very proud!

Pretty toes

Checking out a new playground

We decided to take advantage of the cool weather and check out the playground at the local elementary school.

This is how we read, apparently.

A day at the Fortworth Historical Stockyards

We spent a cooler (only 35C) Saturday at the Fortworth Stockyards.

They have a daily cattle drive,

Cowboys doing lasso tricks,

People in historical dress,

A human sized maze (with a challenge which we completed in 35min),

And sno-cones!

Cousins doing archery

Will and Laura practiced their archery this afternoon. Laura even got 2 bulls eyes in one round.

First full day of camp

Last year I barely got a goodbye from either child. This year Laura waved as she ran out the door and Colin was even willing to smile while walking to group.

I’m glad to see both of them so enthusiastic for another year.

Off to family camp at The Tyler Place.

Vacation is here! We are on our way to the Tyler Place in Vermont for a second year of family camp. We made it to Newark today.

Laura’s final night at camp and heading home.

Laura also got to share a night of special songs and a fire lighting event and then we did pick up and saying good bye to our friends and counsellors the next day.
