After the wedding, we took care of Parker while Dave & Carissa were on their honeymoon. It was the 1st time to actually know what it was to take care of a dog & it was fun! He would have Bible study with us as you can see in this picture.
While he was here, our cousin's family came for a visit. It was so nice to see them for longer than 
a quick "Hi!" & "Good-bye". They only stayed a couple of days, but I felt like we caught up. I actually got to know Tavi & Nayah instead of just seeing them in pictures.
The kids were afraid of Parker at first, but then they got used to him. Here they are all packed in their SUV to leave.
That Sat. we went to Jeremy's graduation party at Brent & Natalie's. We had fun playing kickball, football & basketball.
Later Dave, Carissa, Sarah, & John came back and stayed for a little while, and we went to Ohiopyle hiked around, we had a good time. This is the last time the whole family is going to be to together for a long time!
At the end of July - beginning of August, we went to Aunt Vicki's. We had a lot of fun going to their youth group with my cousin, Brianna. We had fun swimming & just hanging out. The last night there, A. Vicki took us to the river front park. The next day we headed home.
As we were coming home we stopped at Buckeye Lake for a family reunion. It was such nice weather that day. Last year it rained.
That following Friday evening, we went to a thing called Praise in the Park. Our youth group did dramas & were the opening band. We had a great time hanging out! Surprise.... Moose won the grand prize - a Nintendo Wii!!!!
The next day, Dad, Moose & I went to the Steam Show while Dan returned to the Praise in the Park to do more dramas.
We saw all the old machinery, I learned a lot about the way they worked. While we were there we had a great chicken dinner!
They also had an antique car show there too, so this has been a summer of anitque cars in one form or another. They also had 1 of the biggest oxen teem I've ever seen. They were HUGE!
So far this summer had been a good active summer, I still have more to tell but have run out of space & time. I'll tell you more tomorrow.
