They even got dad involved

We had a good time catching up with the neighbors and getting to know Sharon a little more.

Here are a few random fun adventures we have had with the kids. 

We got King of the Hill passes at Cherry Hill this year, and the kids always had a blast playing miniature golf.

Kaylee trying on shoes for school

Eating some yummy open face sandwiches. A must have for a summer meal. Kaylee loves fresh tomatoes along with her mama.

I had a serious craving for some funeral potaotes; so we made some ham, homemade rolls and funeral potatoes. Yum!

The kids running around in the summer rain outside. Summer showers are the best!

I wanted to take a few pictures of the flowers and plants we planted at the beginning of the summer and at the end to see how it transforms.

Here is the before....

 Now here is the after. The sweet potato vines definitely grow like crazy and bring a lot of color. There were some flowers I liked and some I didn't love and wont use again. I'm definitely not an expert in flowers, so this will be a trial and error for a few years until we figure it out. I figure we will just keep slowly adding perennials over the years and end up with just a few annuals that add a pop of color. But until then, we have a lot of annuals.
