End of Summer, Part 1

 We had fun including Scout in our annual Fourth of July pictures! 

 The bakers got a little carried away with the flour!

First IMAX experience- They had the theater to themselves and were big fans!  Turtle Oddesy, anyone?

Speaking of turtles, look at this interesting turtle that Scout brought to our back porch.  No worries, once Scout came inside, the turtle escaped.   Those hard shells are a lifesaver!

The girls and I ventured to Ohio one day to meet up with Molly & Amy and their kiddos.  It was a fun little reunion.  The kids took our picture, and the pic below ended up being my favorite.  Reminds me of what often became of our study sessions during college. 

Meanwhile, Scott and Jon had a guys day at a cool park.  Scout had big adventures with them too, and they all came home exhausted. 

There were several ladders, and Jon had to carry Scout up them.  They were both thrilled to make it to the top rung each time!

Scott took a special trip downtown with Grandpa & Grandma.  The 11 year old is about to pass all of us in height!
