Summer is flying by!

Wow it seems like school just let out for the year and already the 'back to school' ads are starting to air on TV. Seriously! Just over a month from today the kids will be getting ready to go back to school.

So here's what we've been up to since May...

The final week of Kate's Kindergarten year mean her first Field Day! The kids had a ball playing outside, having their pizza party moved inside (because it was chilly!), then being showered by the firetruck! 







The last day of school started with all smiles but ended with tears.  Kate was the only kid who came out with the walkers that afternoon in tears.  She said she was sad to leave her teachers and friends!








The month of June pretty much looked like June of 2014 - lots of pool time and little kids being carried across the pool by teenagers.  Kate had a blast, of course! On to the BIG swim team next summer!





















Sadly, June also meant saying goodbye to our good friends from Texas. The friends who lived in Georgia for 2 years - who are now moving to Seattle.  We will miss the Rockenbach family!



The end of June and the first 2 weeks in July were spent in the NC mountains.  We all had a great time - relaxing, enjoying the cooler temps and playing!


Ice Cream!
Lost kitty we all fell in love with.





We finally were able to celebrate July 4th in the Echota community. They throw a big bash - complete with a parade, BBQ and beer - every year!



Much of our time in the mountains is spent at local parks - exploring and playing. It's such a beautiful area, we just want to relax and enjoy it all!












The next few weeks will be spent at home before we head up to LBI. And immediately after our return to Greenville it will be time for school to start.  It's hard to believe that summer is already almost over!
