Summer Synopsis II

JULY:

July was filled with trips and more weekly summer excursions. Gracie and Wes spent a week with cousin Katherine at Manaw and Pop Pop's, but not before a fun day with Mop!



We also stayed in College Station for 3 days at the annual Firefighter Olympics. Daddy played soccer for LFD. And man, was it stinkin' hot!!



What has ended up being the biggest story of the summer was our whitewater rafting trip to Colorado we went on with the Stith's while the kids were in Abilene. Overall it was a fabulous trip. I won't go into too much detail (it deserves it's own blog!), but let's just say we're glad to be alive. Believe us when we say you DO NOT want to swim in a level 5 rapid on the Arkansas River in the Royal Gorge. All 4 of us are truly blessed to still be here!

There are a few favorite videos that I'd like to share as well:

First, a taste of Gracie and Wes' gymnastics class.



The best show of Pop Pop you'll ever see!

(Sorry, I can't figure out how to rotate it!)
