We tried to pack in some good summer fun for the last week of Summer. School starts this next week. Rebecca starts tomorrow with Freshman orientation and Rachel and Adam start on Wednesday.
Early in the week amid cleaning the house, getting yard work done, and preparing for the beginning of school, we headed up to TIBBLE FORK RESERVOIR again. This time we took Rachel who spent most of her time on the shore of the lake reading her book for school (The Road... she says it's the worst book she's ever read). We also took our inflatable raft and Adam and I rowed it across the lake.
Adam and Rebecca's favorite part was walking around in the river that flows into the reservoir.
They built a little trail marker in the middle of the river so I could find which way they went. :)
It wouldn't be summer without a little homemade ice cream.
It's hard to tell that we made vanilla ice cream since it's all smothered in strawberries and chocolate but it was very yummy!
This is the little woven basket made from the dyed yarns that Rebecca did in a few posts ago.
Just had to include a picture of these roses from my garden. They are so cool because they start out being yellow and as they open up they get this deep pinkish orange on the ends of their petals.
Later in the week, David's work had a party for all the employees and their families. It was at a park and they had food, music, and a GIANT slip 'n slide. It was super fun. David was in charge of it and I think everyone had a great time... we sure did.
An employee brought this drone and flew it around taking video and pictures of the whole event. Crazy cool little piece of technology... it is now on the kids' wish list.
