Summer happenings


Playing and chores. 


Garden surplus. 


Friends from out of town

Neighbors to play with. 





And catching summer pets. 


Just kidding. I made a new strict "no amphibian or reptile pet" rule. I had nothing to do with the catching or eventual release of this frog. 


And when things get a little quiet, build a Dixie cup tower. 



4th of July family Reunion at Knoebels!




Some of the Pitcavage cousins:
Sydney 5, Sage 6, Riley 3, Lilly 9, Jack 5, Brooke 2, Lucy 2, Emma 6, Abbey 8, Sam 6, Morgan 15?? I need to double check Morgan's age. 



Jack loved hanging with the girl cousins at Knoebels. Lilly went with Jim and the older cousins to ride all the roller coasters. Jack, lucy, and I stuck with the younger cousins in kiddie land. It was so much fun. 




Lucy keeps up with the older kids and is only slowed by mandatory height rules. 



Lilly's face says it all for the scariest ride at knoebels. 





The heat and non stop fun did eventually wear out Lucy. 


Last ride of the day....



And one last cousin pile up...

New siding- new look

I This was our house when we moved here in 2009.  Sadly the trees had to come down, as you can see they were already over taking the house in 2009. We removed the trees in 2013. 


We have made some changes since buying this house. Most significant being the siding. The hail storm of 2014 caused a lot of property damage and we were able to put on new siding. 





The first sign of new color on our house was so exciting for me!!












Final details...

Our friends, the Mattssons, came to town for a week in June. We fit everything we possibly could into that week. Everything we used to do all summer long when they lived here we pushed into one week. 



A few more years for Lucy to hit the bigger kid rides...




Lilly, Caleb, Caden, Alysson, Eli



Jack was so sad to see them leave. Me too.

Summer is flying by!! I promise to update soon. 




Knoebels

It's pretty great having an amusement park 20 minutes from your house. 


This year, Lilly is riding ALL the rides. She still likes to ride with Lucy and Jack. As long as it doesn't interfere with her roller coaster time.
