SuMmErTiMe!

 I only have two weeks left of summer! Where did the time go? As usual, we have had a BUSY few months. Here are the highlights...

Before the last day of school we left for vacation in the Finger Lakes Region in New York. We went camping with my Mema, Aunties, Uncles and Cousins. There were 27 of us in all!

Lots of time hanging out at the pool...

...and resting in the shade.

Vineyards in Keuka Lake

Here I am getting ready to "hike" in Watkins Glen.

There were beautiful waterfalls and over 750 steps!

Rest time after the hike with my cousins.

We made pirate hats!

 After our super camping trip in NY, I flew on an airplane with Mom, Liam and Addy to visit my Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Mandie in Illinois.

We went with our 2nd cousins to a old time farm.

They had chickens and other animals too.

We washed clothes on a washboard.

We visited by Great Grandpa Bob

At Wild West town we got to pan for gold, go on rides and watch a wild west show.

Of course we had to get an old west photo!

On our way home!

All of that fun happened by the second week in July! When I got back to Cape Cod I started summer school a couple of days a week and worked a lot on my Family Hope Center program. We had a backyard campout and my brother had his 6th birthday party!

Backyard campfire- I love roasted marshmallows!

My girl Taylor and I at Liam's birthday party!

Tevor the Juggler came to Liam's party and I got to try some tricks!

 At the beginning of August I went to horse riding camp. We did lots of crafts, went on carriage rides and rode horses!

I made the octopus!

Pirate Day at camp! Addy and I make great pirates!

Time to paint!

 The week after horse camp we went to one of the best places ever: Dream Day Cape Cod! This is the second year I've gotten to go to Dream Day and it is so much fun!
