Blueberries

We are all set for a year of "Blueberry Buckle"! Emma, Quinn and I spent a morning at the blueberry farm and picked 14 lbs. of very sweet blueberries. Yum.

Girl's Camp

I went to camp this year as Craft Leader. We had a great time with the vinyl cutter. I also did fun projects with wire and mod podge. Plus, SHRINKY DINKS. My staff and I did over 100 of these value boards plus 110 quote boards. Great fun! (and much better than last year's assignment in the kitchen) Looking forward to crafts next year.

Emma's first year at camp. Lots of new friends and experiences.

Abby's 6th year at camp. She is an experienced Youth Leader

and has a talent working with the younger girls

Abby in Utah

Abby spent a week in Utah with Krista. They visited Bob & Mary and Abby spent the night with her friend, Brooks. Then they went to Monticello for the 24th of July. A fun trip to the lake, a parade, good food, a stop at Arches National Park and lots of family were the highlights.

John Deere

Quinn LOVES John Deere tractors. He has informed us that he wants to be a John Deere driver when he grows up. There is a fantastic museum at John Deere headquarters in Moline, IL and we had a memorable summer get away there in July. Quinn got to sit in a dozen tractors -combines - gators and we rode our bikes along the Mississippi River. The local museum and IMax theater were great. We also enjoyed a minor league baseball game (well, at least until it was cancelled because of a huge thunderstorm.)
