A Pictorial History of our Week

Last week was so much fun! Josh took the week off, and we had a week's worth of mini-trips. It worked so well last year that we decided to do that again this year. We'll decide about next summer when it gets closer...see what we think they (and we) are up for!

Jasmine, Bekah and I went to my parents' to see Sheila, my Sister-in-Law (Kenny's wife)

Saturday we went swimming and enjoyed some summery treats:


Then went home and built a tower. Bekah's figuring out how to build and not merely tear down!

More swimming...

Monday we went to Chuck E Cheese's. I wanted to go while it was still quiet, so even though the weather was fine, we spent the afternoon inside. The girls had such a fun time!

Tuesday we went to a State Park that is/was a farm. It's so peaceful and beautiful...and free!

Jasmine thought she should help:

And Bekah had a blast:

My budding Rock Collector:

Trying peach for the first time. So juicy...really early in the season for that, but you won't hear us complaining!


Wednesday we met my Grandma and two of her close friends. First a picnic:

And then to the Botanical Gardens. Here they are (left to right): Marjorie, Grandma, Freda:

Bekah made a friend!

Jasmine loves waterfalls :)

Thursday we went to the Butterfly Conservatory with Josh's mom. I'm making a mini-book for Jasmine with all the pictures, but this is the most important moment of the day. She's been talking about it since it happened (in a good way):

Afterwards we went swimming and then to ice cream:


Many, many layouts coming over the next few days....
