On Monday Olivia started a program called Leap into Learning at Purchase Line. It lasts two weeks, the bus picks her up at the end of the driveway at 7:30 in the morning and drops her off at 12:30. They serve them breakfast when they get to the school, this will help them get used to going through the lunch line when school starts, then they go to class and have a story, craft, and learn a song, they also have a snack before they leave. She is excited about going I just hope she is this excited when school actually starts.

Happy Fourth of July to everyone. We had a pretty good day. Wes and his kids were up and we hung out with them and did some riding and some fishing in Dave and Carole's pond. Kaylee out fished the boys catching the only 2 bass that were caught, most everyone caught at least one fish so nobody was left feeling down about not catching anything.

On Sunday we went on a picnic with Brad, Kim, and Kirestin to our secret spot. It was nice, the kids played in the creek or Babbling Brook as Olivia calls it. The kids spent most of the time looking for salamanders or pretending to be kayaking they all had a good time. The weather was perfect in the shade, but we felt the heat once we came out of the woods heading back home.

On Saturday Denny, the kids, and I went down to my dad's for a picnic and 4-wheeler ride. It was for my sister who just got out of the Air Force. Denny had a good time or at least he looked like he did. They took a 3 hour ride and they all came back soaked to the bone. After they came back Denny, my sister's friend Seth, and my cousin's boyfriend, and someone else decided to have some races to see who had the faster 4-wheeler. Seth being about the same size a Devon and being the lightest person won most of the races.

On Saturday was the Father's Day picnic, those pictured are just some of those who came for some great food and games. We played a game of softball and 4 or 5 games of volleyball and the guys played basketball. Everybody had a great time with no major injuries from the games we played so that has to be a good thing.

It had taken a long time for Will and Travis to play together, but in this picture Travis is trying to convince Will that the scooter that he is on is slower than a different one, so he can have it. Will didn't fall for it but Travis decided that that other one was better anyhow.
