July

 Lilly tried on Devin's motorcycle helmet.  Lucy thought it was interesting but she didn't want to try it on.

 Our garden has been producing overtime.  We've canned lots of green beans, tomato sauce, relish, salsa, and pickled green tomatoes.  We put squash and zucchini in the freezer. 

 Lucy and I made a tutu. 

 The kids have been swimming in my brother's new pool,

 and in our much smaller pool.

 Caleb, Jack, and Sam came for a few days.  The cousins enjoyed spending time together.

 I let Sam go swimming in his clothes.

 This is the water fight section of a long battle with Hannah pitted against Caleb, Jack, and Devin.  Hannah eventually took them down, but a couple of days later, they got her back.

 The computer and Wii got a real work out while the boys were here.  Jack is letting Lilly have a turn while Caleb watches in the background.  Caleb is playing a game that he wrote all by himself on the computer.

 Rachel and I took Sam and her girls to the park for a breakfast picnic one morning.  Sam declared that he was a pirate so I couldn't take his picture, but I managed to get a couple of him.

 He liked the dolphins that spray mist.  It was a hot morning so it felt good.

 Lucy had a good time.

 Lilly liked the mist, too.

 Sam and Lucy played a duet.
