I was kind of thinking that I hadn't really taken any pictures but then I looked back and came up with about 50 that I hadn't put on here yet. I picked out a few to summarize the end to our summer fun.
We went to our last Flying Squirrels game and got to sit right behind the visitor's dugout.
It turned out to be a sweet spot for getting balls - Chase was tossed two from the players coming in off the field.
And Taylor got one too!
And we didn't get hit by any balls, my favorite part!
Taylor got to do a little babysitting. Poor Aaron wasn't feeling so good, but she was happy to help him rest and watch a cartoon.
After a little rest, we took him out to the new splash park.
He had lots of fans.
The boys never stayed still long enough for a picture. At least not one where I wouldn't get wet taking it!
Chase was excited to go meet his new teacher, Mrs. Jackson. She gave him these bird peeps with a note that said "a little birdie told me you're going to have a great year in first grade!" So far, so good!
Taylor has been fashionable, as usual. She keeps asking me to buy her hair dye so we compromised on the dollar store red hair wig.
Chase wanted to take his buddy Landon to his new favorite putt-putt. I should have taken a picture of them BEFORE we started because after the first hole it was a little rough! Chase was hit across the chest by accident on the very first hole but no harm.
It was turning out to be a good time. Then came hole 14.
Chase gets hit. Again. This time it was a shot to the lip, again, by accident.
Taylor still insisted on the picture by the unicorn before we finally decided that putt-putt was just not our game that day!
Finally a group shot as we ate ice cream to dull the pain! Chase was the only one who wanted to play a second round after all that!
The damage. It's looking better these days.
For my birthday we took an early trip to Ikea for a little shopping and cinnamon rolls.
This picture sums up how Dave feels about Ikea, shopping in general, and Northern Virginia. He was a decently good sport about it but when I realized about 2 miles down the road that I had only bought 1 door for my 2 door cabinet, I did NOT dare tell him! Some things you just have to order online!
On my actual birthday, through an unusual set of events, I got to take my first ride in a combine. I had to check the calendar and see if it was Dave's birthday or mine because we were driving around in a truck, looking at farmland, and riding tractors. I think we are even from the Ikea trip.
It was a good time, though. Pretty fancy stuff that machine can do! After all this fun it was time to get home and get ready for school!
