July Memories

On July 1st, my grandma passed away.  She was a month shy of 92.  This was a great picture taken with some of her great grandkids on the day before her death. We look forward to seeing her again someday in Heaven!

The girls have been doing a lot of reading and baking!  Below they are attempting a round stacked cake for the first time using the skills that they've learned on Kids Baking Championship.  It was...very sweet as they were very liberal with the frosting!:)

Throughout the summer, Mike & Carol invited the kids over for "Hero Lessons" each week.  The kids learned about Lewis & Clark, Teddy Roosevelt, Benjamin Franklin, and Harriet Tubman just to name a few. 

For this lesson, they took us to the George Rogers Clark Memorial. We also stopped by Sandborn to see where they grew up.  I think we all learned a lot!

Silly girls!

The kids also went on a trip to the Cincinnati Zoo with my parents.  Hands down, their favorite animal was the HIPPO!

I found Scott researching how much it would cost to buy a hippo!  Thankfully, it's out of his price range!!
