Summer List + Random Pictures

Summer List (things we did, things that happened, etc.):

• Visited Missouri three times and while there, had a slumber party with five cousins, attended the Platte County Fair, and went to the water park twice.
• Went to the Roland pool a lot. Reece turned into a fish! He swims underwater now and jumps off the side.
• Contracted four separate cases of strep throat, split equally between Darren and myself. Our children  must be immune. Strep throat sucks far more than I can remember it sucking as a kid.
• Went to a family reunion on a farm in Illinois.
• Completed the Summer Reading Program.
• Had a skunk get trapped under our front porch and die. A hole had to be cut in the deck to remove the decomposing body. A dead skunk is the worst smell in the world.
• Picked blueberries at The Berry Patch. The kids picked 2.5 pounds of berries and loved it. It's one of my favorite things we've ever done. It was a perfect day.
• Saw Cars 2 in the theater.

Thing I didn't do this summer: take pictures of any of the above, which is why these pictures are random!
