Since it was a hot day, we had our picnic inside. Jonas is okay. He just didn't want his picture taken.
The ice cream distracted him and he didn't mind having this picture taken.
Lilly really enjoyed her ice cream!
Lucy got soapy on the slip and slide.
July was Lucy's month to spend the night with us. She helped can sweet relish. She washed the jars,
helped measure the ingredients,
and stirred it all up.
She did a great job!
Phillip dug the potatoes. This year we got more than we did last year.
I canned tomato sauce, salsa, and green beans.
Barn swallows built a nest in the carport. It was so much fun to watch them. Four baby birds hatched and grew up. These are the last 2 babies trying to get the courage to fly.
Hannah had a Saturday off so we went adventuring. We happened upon Rose Hill Plantation in SC and had a nice, relaxed day.
Jaclyn, Caleb, Jack, and Sam came for a visit. We celebrated Sam's seven year, one month, one day birthday. It was fun to have all the cousins together.
Hannah coordinated an awesome water fight.
So July ended the way it began, with family, fun, and food.
