*For the 4th of July, we went to a church near my parents for fireworks, bounce houses, and funnel cakes. Here are Sierra and Kendall with their costumes...skunks. Skunks are always associated with the 4th, right?? :)

 

*One of the things I will miss about summer are the walks I've been able to take in the afternoons. It is SO relaxing to go for a long walk listening to a podcast. Yes, I could continue this once the summer comes to an end, but let's be honest, I don't necessarily feel like a walk after a long day of work.  

I typically take the same route. It's nice to live near some open land, which is much more relaxing than walking around houses. :)

 *My nieces spent the night this past week and I took them all to a nearby creek. The water was so refreshing on what was the hottest day of the year.

*Back when I was dealing with some health stuff, I cut way back on my soda intake. I've found myself craving something other than water. I initially tried La Croix, which was pretty good. However today at Costco I sampled Perrier Sparkling Flavored Water and it is SO much better. Sadly it is also SO much more expensive... :(

*After going through the Star Wars series as a family, we wanted to continue family movie nights. We last watched both National Treasure movies. Tonight we are going to start the Jurassic Park movies (which are all on Netflix now).
