Oh Summer Fun!





Me & Forrest got a really cool present from auntie Melissa, uncle Ben, & Ella. Awesome! I put the wheelbarrow together with my mom & then we put it to use. There was so much to be done in the yard! I hauled plants, dirt, rocks, & tools, the jobs are endless. Forrest just wanted to go for joy rides, so I took him on a few. And yes, those are leg warmers he's wearing because he kept getting knee splinters.

My uncle Casey used our bike trailer this weekend & really tested out it's durability. This is the trailer that I've used for the past 3 years behind a bike to get around town when it's just too nice to be in a car. (don't worry Pop-Pop, we only take non-busy, safe, bike routes). The directions said it could carry 75 lbs. Casey biked it out to a weekend concert. He filled it up with a cooler, food & beer for the weekend, all his camping gear, & of course his banjo. It came back in almost one piece, so I would say it passed the test.

Pickle Lover

My brother really loves his kosher dills. I mean, he screams when he sees the jar & tries to jump out of arms or laps & hurls himself in the general direction of the pickle with his mouth wide open. Then he talks to it as he eats in a very calming tone, I think he needs some help.
