Exploring Our Hometown

Here's a nearby trail that we've never been too.

Cool outdoor classroom.  This trail is behind the Day Elementary School.

Bree was surly -- as usual.....

 

Family Time in Maine -- And Some Birthday Cake, Too!

Argh!!  Not yet!!

Definitely 12 going on 21 with the makeup, though.....

Cousins!

 

Happy Birthday, Bree Bree!

Maybe she'll stop stealing my makeup now....

 

Twelve!

Bree's party isn't for another week, but I couldn't let the day go by without doing a little something special to celebrate #12.  I treated her and a couple of close swim team pals to smoothies and muffins after practice this morning.  Happy birthday, sweet girl!

 

All Stars

Great meet for all these All Stars tonight!

Backpack Attack

For their charitable giving this year, Bree's Girl Scout Troop used their hard earned cookie money to purchase school supplies and fill backpacks for the Lowell Wish Backpack Attack program.

 

Junior Black Belt

We've got another Junior Black Belt in the family.  Way to go, Bree!

That's a Wrap

Last breakfast at summer camp. Aiden's coming home a day early, since he has a meet on Saturday morning.  Just as well. as there's another batch of bad weather expected overnight.  It has rained SO MUCH this summer.  

Aiden received a special award at the closing ceremony for his completion of the mile swim!  Not only did he swim the mile, but he was the first finisher.  Great job, buddy!

 

Babchi's Perogies

Trying our hand at Babchi's perogie recipe today.  It think this is going to take some practice before we get any good at it.....

 

Bakers Joy

Bree had her friend over to hang out.  Next thing I know, they are turning my kitchen upside down and baking zucchini muffins.  I'll give you one guess who cleaned up the mess.  At least they had fun.  💕

 

Boy Scout Camp

Aiden is finally getting his first experience at Boy Scout Camp.  Last summer was cancelled due to COVID.  But here we are. His home away from home for the next week.

Roomies.

Looks cozy.😬
