Fireworks!

Note to Readers: I am posting the fun of our summer while simultaneously doing my best to keep you up to date on "the now." So, the posts flip back and forth from June and July to the present day...and back again. Sooner or later, we'll be all caught up! Sorry for any confusion. sbc

As it does, June turns into July and Kyle headed back to Germany. :-( 

We tried not to focus on missing Daddy and instead tried to focus on spending a week swimming and sunning and taking boat rides and playing at the cottage with the added bonus of celebrating Independence Day. 

Yay for Fireworks!
