Best summer yet

What a great summer! Certainly not referring to the weather (although this weekend has turned out pretty nice), but simply the amount of fun we had, places we went, and friends we saw. We traveled all over the state to Orondo, Chelan, Pullman, Union Town, Lewiston, Spokane, Washougal, Stevenson, Lake Roosevelt, Twin Lakes, and Leavenworth. We had several weddings where we got to celebrate with family and friends. We went to the zoo, water park, fair, boating, swimming, and spent hours enjoying the sun. I took the kids to the park or we played in the yard almost everyday. The Larson's came to visit us, and my sister and niece Evie, and the Maynard's are visiting us this weekend. I worked less this summer than I have since I graduated college. I worked a full time job and part time job for many years and then two part time jobs after children and now I'm down to one part time job I get paid for and the most rewarding job, being mom. Working less has given us the freedom to have so many adventures and I'm so grateful for that. Now we are looking forward to Cougar football and taking the trailer over for games. Abi starts preschool in a week and she is so excited. Ben will be walking any day and has his first b-day later this month. What can I say besides life is good are we are blessed.
