As for our summer, we have certainly been busy. The girls have taken swimming lessons this summer - that has really been our only scheduled activity. Hannah is a fish in the pool. In fact, her lack of fear has me more nervous than anything. She loves to jump into the pool, whether there is someone there to catch her or not! And Lydia has definitely made progress this summer at the pool as well! She loves to blow bubbles and prefers to spend less and less time in the "baby pool."
We have also had the opportunity to make several trips to Wonderscope and Deanna Rose Farmstead, which are always favorites. And our new favorite activity is going to the library quite regularly. Lydia has grown tired of the books that we have here so it has been fun to pick out new books at the library each week.
We have also enjoyed nature this summer. We will be at my parents in Hiawatha this week to make homemade applesauce from three bushels of apples. I might be crazy by the end of it. The girls also enjoyed picking a few cherries from Grandma and Grandpa's cherry tree and picking blueberries from a local blueberry patch over the July 4th holiday weekend. And we just got a bucket full of sweet corn from my parents this week. We LOVE enjoying all of the fresh fruit and vegetables!
We hope that you have enjoyed your summer as well!
