Jumpin' June

We are way behind in blogging!  So here is what we accomplished in June...
While not technically June, we did enjoy the Memorial Day Parade together!

 

 We planted a garden.  This will be the last year for anything other than strawberries in this spot.  The strawberries are taking over and produced a bumper crop.  We made strawberry cake, strawberry smoothies, strawberry muffins and strawberry lemonade.  No jam here as my little Jam monster Pudge will not eat strawberry jam.  It's a seed thing.

 

 

 We held our Third annual driveway movie.  The weather did not cooperate this year, so it ended up being a garage movie.  For the second year in a row we had a title sponser.  This year's sponser was Expo.  Each child in attendance received dry erase markers and a marker board courtesy of Expo.  We featured Cars before the release of Cars 2 and munched on snacks and drinks.  We love this tradition!

We celebrated Brad's birthday and Father's Day with Gammy, Grandpa and Mike.

Brad received an award from Dougherty Staffing and Riverland College for being a founder golfer in their golf classic.  I was tipped off about the award and was able to attend the dinner with him.  A sometimes rarity in our house.


We celebrated Brad's birthday at home with Death by Chocolate Trifle and a much needed new pair of shoes.

Brad helped organize and Gammy and Grandpa attended with us, the 2nd Annual Henry Wenger Bandfest.  This is a marching competition for High School Marching Bands and they are are amazing!  We got to place our vote, as a group, for the People's Choice award.

We held our annual Monarch Butterfly release.  The kids love watching their Chrysalis' hatch.

Of course we found plenty of time for goofing around.  Clara managed to figure out she could fit in the toy shopping cart.

We decided we can make a pretty good pyramid with Dad as the base.

We found time for swimming at the OCC pool and the beloved slip and slide.  Hope your June was just as jam packed!
