End of summer/ new pool

Chris put up an above ground pool for us to stay cool this summer.  Marissa had good opportunity to practice her swimming--she is the only one who can't stand up without touching the bottom.

We had a lot of fun this summer.  Swimming. Zoo.  KOA.  Cousin sleepovers.  Lunch dates.  Being silly.  Solar Eclipse. Bike rides.

Marissa knew looking at the sun today was dangerous.

Sewing badges for other GSs and earning money for her GS trip.

A good gathering for a sad reason.  The boys needed more time to be together after the Celebration of Life for our friend Ben who passed this summer after many years battling colon cancer.

Happy 70th Dad / Papa Dave!
