On Friday, we visited our local amusement park for the first time of the season! Since we get season passes, a visit to our local amusement park is a weekly adventure for us.




This is the first year that Laney is able to ride the kiddie rides and she absolutely loves it!


We had a busy and great first weekend of summer break! On Saturday, I worked a few hours at our family’s diner and then I took Piper to her friend’s birthday party at the playground. After that, we went to our friend’s going away party where the kids played on an inflatable water slide!


On Sunday, we went to church and then our friends took Piper for the rest of the afternoon while Nick and I traveled about an hour away to look at a new used vehicle. Our H3 SUV is at the end of it’s life and so we snagged up a great deal on a Honda Pilot. We have some work to put into it but it should be good to go in no time!
Later that evening we picked up Piper from our friends house and visited with them for a while. An ice cream truck came by which was the hit of the night!
We had a late summer night type of dinner by the time we got home. It was one of those nights when it was nearly bedtime and we all thought – “hey, we didn’t eat dinner!” So, I ran to the store in town and grabbed some sub rolls, meats and cheese. We quickly made ourselves some subs which I think might be a new summer staple to get us through these long summer days!
