Summer Adventure

(Hailey & her friend Valerie)

It's already August and school will be starting in about 2 weeks. It feels like we have been on the go ever since the beginning of June when the girls finished school. We've already got our supplies and today we finished VBS. The summer has been packed with horseback riding, cooking classes, adventure camp, some 4-H classes and a trip to the water park. We also had a wonderful experience of blueberry picking at the home of Ms. Ethel and in her we met a real inspirational lady which was the biggest highlight for us. Some friends introduced us to her and we could hardly tear ourselves away. She is almost 70 and puts me to shame. We have had a great (but extremely hot) summer and I know at least Cassidy is ready to get back to school. Hailey will be in her last year of elementary school this year - I can't really believe it!! Someone once told me "the days can go by really slow but the years just fly by" - how true!
