Tyler really enjoyed soccer. He still didn't "get it," but he liked playing just as well.

Our Garden
We had a very productive garden this summer--especially our fruit trees. Last year our plum tree produced plums and we only got one peach total. This year we got peaches, pears, apples, nectarines and one plum.

Our one and only plum

Unfortunately the wasps liked our peaches and nectarines as much as we did. Look at how they ate them.
Some of the "pretty" ones
Lots and lots of peaches
I peeled and cut the peaches to freeze them for smoothies and to make into jam.
Nectarines.
I washed, cut and blended the nectarines up to make fruit leather. I also made some nectarine freezer jam. It took me FOREVER to get the peaches and nectarines taken care of because I'd just get started peeling or cutting and then I'd have to go referee a fight between the kids or get this, that or another thing for them. I worked late into the night sometimes after the kids were in bed. It was a lot of work, but I'm so grateful for all the fruit we got this year.

Summer Walks
Summertime means Sunday evening walks. Luckily we live within walking distance of several parks and a school. Here are a few pictures.

Museum of Natural History
The kids and I participated in the library's summer reading program. The grand prize at the end of the summer was free admission to the Museum or Natural History. We went one afternoon after Tyler was done with school.
The kids got to make dinosaur headbands and then we explored.
Tyler LOVES anything to do with deer, elk, moose, etc. so he loved seeing this display.
"Hands on" in the water
There were costumes to try on

There was a section that had a glass floor looking down on some "fossils." Here's Emily sitting on the floor.
The girls writing notes
A cool dinosaur fossil
Digging in the sand
Running around a "dig site."
King and queens of the rock
Emily with a tree puzzle
Tyler with a stuffed deer
Megan with a puzzle
The girls soaking up the sun on the observation deck
