August is here and we are having a blast of heat!!!! It's so hot outside with temperatures reaching into the 90's! It's else be at the pool or in the AC!
We joined Lena and her children at Strasburg Pool and the kids were doing Ninja Kids and pushups! Austin also got stung in the pool on his leg but after some tears, he was back to swimming!
Then we invited them to join us at the pool where we are members! LCC has a brand new pool and its beautiful! Zayla loved the part where she could just crawl right into the water and we enjoyed the chairs in the low level of water too!
And here's the swimming crew today!
............................................
We had some carrots that we fed to the neighbors donkey, Walker! We love taking four wheeler rides to the farm and feeding the animals!
Then these two ate cucumbers right out of the garden! I love that!
The Lime Lights are so pretty right now! Even with the hot tempts, we are blessed with rain showers. Our grass is still green and the gardens thriving! We've got lots of these tiny, pea size, tomatoes! The string beans are growing, peppers and cucumbers!
I got a basket of Red Haven peaches and froze them for upcoming lunches. These Canary Melons are so yummy too at the local road side stand!

Employee Day was a success! This year it was storm free and the kids had a blast! There was face painting, balloon making, swimming in the pool, baseball in the park and food!
Candy scramble with the firetrucks.
First we were green and then swam. Can back for another painting and went with red. The characters are not my favorite but we went with it for this time.
And this little miss had a birthday and is now one year old! We love Zayla so much and she LOVES Ashlyn!!!! She's starting to say some words, crawling is still her way to get around and every time she sees Ashlyn, she squeals! It's so cute to hear her try to say her name! Ashlyn loves that Zayla loves her! The other night at a mission fundraiser, Ashlyn had Zayla the whole night. They were in the bouncy house together, she pushed Zayla around in her stroller and even put her to sleep. These two are just too cute!
We are enjoying all things summer still but school is nearing. It's amazing how when the time actually comes for school to begin, we are ready for it. I'm never ready to say goodbye to lazy summer mornings but the earlier to bed and better schedules are always welcome here!
We are off for a few more pool days before school starts! Stay safe! Go get wet and enjoy the rest of these 2021 summer days!
