Moments of Time: Summer

Well it has been a busy and fast summer. It seems like school just got out and its already back. To try and catch up we did a little bit of camping and sight seeing. We haven't done any search for deer because I forgot to put in for the draw on my hunt and Mike is mad at all the divisions that were made. But we are thinking of getting an elk tag or something.
The girls have loved the outdoors, running, climbing, swinging, and all around playing. We have had a lot of rain in the past month, which is greatly needed and I have loved. Brooke, however is against the rain and McKenna, well she is now afraid of the thunder thanks to her sister. Brooke would hear the thunder and scream (just because that is her, it took years to get her to understand that thunder was just noise). Well after a few of those screams Kenna thought it was something to be afraid of and would either come running to me screaming or hide under a blanket. We are working on her though. It is cute when we do get the rain, the girls will open the front door, get blankets and sit to watch the lightening and rain!
We took the girls miniature golfing one Saturday. Sadly we chose the wrong time of day to do that when we should have looked around and done whatever before the golfing. It was extremely hot and Mike had three girls who were practically dripping with sweat. McKenna liked it the idea of hitting the ball, but would take everybody's balls when she was supposed to be hitting hers in the hole. lol. Brooke did good and was two holes ahead of us most of the time. The only thing Kenna was interested in about half way through was the water flowing through the course. She was literally looking at the water as the best way to get in it!
Brooke had two sets of swimming lessons, once in June and once in July which both the girls loved, well Kenna when I would stay and let her play in the kiddie pool, which half the time was not good enough when other kids and sister were in the big pool and going off the diving board. There were many times I barely caught her at the edge. She is one fast little monkey. Brooke now REALLY loves the water. I'm glad we finally found something she likes to do and is willing.
We've been trying to do more work on our house. And literally it is work, of course there is nothing less with an old house. When we sell it it will all be worth it. We now have our chimney out of the bathroom. Yes, we had a plaster covered chimney in our bathroom. It was a to do since we first saw the house, but never did it until now. We will have a path to the front porch done by the end of summer hopefully as well as the rest of the bathroom finished. But still a list to go.
