It's Been a Hot Summer

Saturday Timothy and I went to feed Fred and the kittens. We had a new plan to put the kittens in the kennel until they were done eating rather than keep Fred away from them. It worked much better.

Then we went home to get chores done. Aaron got home around 11 or so that morning, and David came home around 2:30. It was another hot day!

 So we went swimming of course!

 Allison got some tummy time with Timothy

 We harvested a few thing from the garden

 yellow squash - our first tomatoes, and  a purple bell pepper

These are the tiny cucamelons. They look like a tiny water melon, but look like a cucumber on the inside and taste like a cucumber.

 Our first corn harvest

 Amy wanted me to take a picture after she arranged them

Aaron stopped by the Greek Monastery and Bakery on the way home from the River Rafting trip. Mmmmm Baklava!

Sunday Timothy and went to feed Fred and the kittens again. Aaron had meetings and then we went to church. I don't remember much about church, but I taught Sunday School, and then because it was a 5th Sunday, we all met together. I don't remember much after that. David had to to back up to camp around 4:00.

At dinner that evening Michelle enjoyed eating her corn on the cob.

That's about all I can remember.
