July

On the 4th of July weekend, Mike surprised us ALL with a trip home!  He was able to join us to see Finding Dory.

Judith attended another birthday party for her friend Robyn.  She got to ride a horse.

We were excited that Brian, Laney, and Lucia were in town!  We met them at the Maryland Science Center and had some learning fun.  We enjoyed a planetarium show.

Judith and Jonas loved playing with Lucia.

Allison and Spearman families at the Inner Harbor, Baltimore.

Jonas attempting to entertain Lucia as we waited for dinner.

After a good seafood dinner at Nick's Fish House, we said see ya later to the Spearmans.  

Sadly, on the 4th of July we had to drop Mike off at the airport.  Then we joined our neighbors for a crab feast.

The 4th of July kind of got rained out.  So some places had their show on the 5th of July.  We enjoyed a show in Catonsville.

Later that week, we headed to Altoona, Pennsylvania near my friend Susan's small home town.  We swam at Glendale Lake on Saturday evening and rented a paddleboat for about 15 minutes.

The next day, we rented a pontoon boat and swam in Gallitzen State Park.  It was so pretty!

The Stawas, Smith, and Allison families.

Ezra lost his 3rd top tooth.

Ezra enjoyed a play date at the Maryland Science Center with his friend Charlie from school.  Here they are launching their paper airplanes.

Jonas needs a dentist.  Just kidding.  He bought these with his own money from the Dollar Store.

Another breakfast in bed with a sweet note.  Don't know what I did to deserve such great kids!

Jonas did this with absolutely no prompting from me.  I didn't even know what he was up to until he called me out to see it.  Gotta love my military kiddos.

We made it to several shows at the library this summer.   This was a puppet show.

I enjoyed a night out to see a cover band with these crazies.
