Morning Fashion Show that I took the little girls to... the loved "fake" Mickey Mouse.

We went on a date to a restaurant in Maryland that we had heard a lot about from friends.  It is Kenyan food and was really different and fun.

Papa continued to catch squirrels in his trap.  Clara loved to look.

We concluded the summer MOPS Bible Study that I hosted at my house with ice cream sandwiches.  It was Sam's 8th birthday!

I took the kids on a mall scavenger hunt that a store was hosting.  Apparently no one else got the "memo" and we won the entire contest!  Free kids haircuts for the year!

The kids participated in a summer cupcake event at the library and met a friend from church.  They decorated cupcakes and had a "cupcake war."  What a fun time!

Marta loves her snacks!

We found two baby birds in the grass and we rescued them!  We put them in a nest in the tree and watched them for two weeks.  The mother came back and took care of them and we saw them fly out of the nest and leave.  It was a great experience for us and we all got a huge kick out of the mother bird trying to peck my head every time I got close to the nest.

Sam continued to make fire with his magnifying glass.

Marta got her first professional hair cut!  She was a brave girl.

We made a tradition this past summer of meeting friends on Friday nights for an event that the City held called "Rock the Block."  We listened to bands, ate picnic dinner and asked the police officers a lot of questions!  I am so glad we did this and made an effort to go each month.

Sweet girls playing on a normal day...
