Summer Recap - July

In July we were also very busy. We started off the month in Utah which Ive posted in my June Blog and then when we got back we were able to go out on Lake Shaffer with My Brother and his family. It was so much fun. He had rented a pontoon boat and a Jet ski for the day. Here are some pictures of us out on the lake.

Later on in July, we took another trip, this time to Ohio and to Maryland. Unfortunately we didn't take very many pictures. We had a great time, though, first visiting my Aunt and Uncle in Ohio, then visiting Dave's family in Maryland. We were also able to spend a few days in Baltimore while Dave was at a convention for work. The Inner Harbor was fun, but very expensive.

This is the only good picture we took. It was at the Hard Rock Cafe in Baltimore at the end of a very long day. Dave had to be at the convention before I was able to take the kids to a birthday party for their second cousin in Ohio, so he went on ahead and I stayed behind with the kids, then I drove out to meet him a few days later. I was nervous about driving all that way alone with the kids, but they were so good the whole day and we made it just fine. It felt good to be able to do it all by myself! Staying at my Aunt's house is always so relaxing, we are really lucky to have such a nice place to stop on our way to Maryland to see Dave's family, it works out really well for us, and she treats the kids like royalty.

All in all we had a terrific time, but after all of our traveling this summer we were very happy to be home again.
