August 2024

We had a big branch taken off this tree in the backyard. The kids loved watching the men work their magic!

The kids have spent a lot of time reading this summer! I'm very proud of them.

Every year, the kids put handprints on their big "back to school" shirts! Here's an action shot from this process.

Lynx too!

This will come as no surprise to anyone: Nova has worn out her suits from the summer! I need buy more. Here she's trying on a JOLYN suit from a friend. She loved it.

Our friends were in an ice skating show so we watched + cheered them on! 

Lynx made this "Minas Tirith"! It's really, really cool! 

Nova attended her first Fitter + Faster Swim Camp this summer and learned a lot! She especially liked the snacks lol.

Then, we headed to Myrtle Beach for the first time! It was a 6 hour drive there, and an 8 hour drive back...traffic can make all the difference. But EVERYONE had a blast during the vacation! 

Lynn doesn't make this face unless I'm taking pictures. Just so you know.

Hahah! Her silly personality, shining through. 

We went on the ferris wheel! It went really high, but you can see that the kids loved it.

SOOOOO much time at the beach!! When they weren't splashing in the waves, they were making sand-creations.

We splurged and went to an escape room which was incredible. EVERYONE LOVED IT! We want to ggo to another one asap

Lynx especially loved the billiards room in the hotel

And, of course, some mini golf to round out the week.

If you're wondering whether I got a hole-in-one during mini-golf, I did.
