Summer

Oh my goodness! Where has the year gone? The kids are back in school and the holiday season is only a few months away. Our summer was great, even though I can sum it up in only four words...travel, swimming, library, park. Other than a few amazing trips, we were kinda boring, but it was good!

We traveled over 6,000 miles this summer and visited or passed through 15 states. We saw the beauty of Yellowstone in the West and the charm and history of the Northeastern United States. I wish all our family lived closer, but if they can't, I'm glad they live in cool places.

Sorry for the picture overload, but when you take almost as many pictures as the miles you drove....

Anyway, when we were in St. Louis, we were swimming (lessons and pool) or at the library. It was a rather cool summer, so we hit the park a few times, too.

One special St Louis activity we did do this summer was visit Bob Kramer's Marionnettes with Nanny. It was a good experience. Bob and Dug truly have a passion for what they do.

It was fun and educational. Brenton even came home and made his own marionette.
