The Space Shot was a favorite this year. These two took 12 trips on it!

Every year the fireworks provide hours and hours and hours of fun; and a huge mess in the street.

The Boys and The Babies

Living History Farms

The boys and I had a great time at Living History Farms today. I don't think they realized how educational it was or they may not have claimed to like it as much as they did. The newspaper was my favorite. Loved watching how they set the print by hand. It made me appreciate my computer and printer.

The boys played checkers at the Tangen house and the Flynn Mansion, but they said their favorite place was the Blacksmith Shop.

They were put to work sawing wood on the 1850s farm.

Lewis liked the cat at the 1900 farmhouse.

How fun and a bit strange to see sewing machines just like the ones we used in Haiti.

Me and my crew in front of the 1850s farm. The boys and I have been reading Laura Ingalls Wilder's Farmer Boy, and I think Living History Farms made some parts of the book come to life for them. I'd say it was money well spent.

The Best (I mean Last) Day of School

I don't do first day of school pictures, but they are usually all smiles at the end of the last day!
