Hey everybody!! Life has been busy the last few days...but a lot of fun. Here is what I've been up to:
(This picture won't go down to its spot so it will be first...lol ) Monday night I took my brother bowling as a very belated birthday present, and we got a sweet deal! Two hours of bowling for the two of us + shoes for $10!! The guy accidentally gave us another hour! Cool huh? We played 7 1/2 games! :) It was very fun!
I set out Thursday (July 9) after work and drove to Charleston, WV, and spent the night with my aunt, uncle, and cousins. Then Leanna and I got up and hiked through the woods Friday morning. We had lunch and then I headed down to NC to visit Katie and her family. It was a wonderful, first road trip by myself! :)
On the trail ... I fell through this bridge on the way back...hehe.
Millie found all the mud holes... :)
The woods were so green.
My cousin Leanna and I on the top of the mountain.
At Katie's, we enjoyed taking walks every night down a side road.

Katie took me to a tea house! It was so special! :)
Katie and I - sisters at heart :)
(This is out of order...) The pretty sunset on my way home from Charleston. Yes I was snapping pictures as I was driving - but I lived. :)
Katie and I made pavlova. We ate a lot of this dessert in Ireland!
Yummy Pavlova!
All the girls - Me, Kirsten, Katie, Mrs. Kaufman, Katrina, and Jenna. It was a blast having sisters for the weekend! :)
Last weekend, Lucas was back in Cincy so we went on a date Friday night and out bowling with friends on Saturday. It was so wonderful being with him! :)
Lucas' group, Faith, was at my church Sunday morning. They did an awesome job! It was a very special service. They came to my house for lunch, and then they were off to AYC.
I've also been working at a Summer Camp this summer. I usually help drive kids to parks and on field trips. We have lots of fun together! This beautiful field of sunflowers is across from a park that we go to, so we got a few pics! :) (Oh and we had two more adults with us...don't worry! :P)
This fellow was way taller than the rest!
So happy!
Ms. Dana (the Summer Camp Leader) and ISo that is what I've been up to. I've been very busy with work - Summer Camp and Panera, but I'm thankful for the work and usually it's a lot of fun too! I can't believe summer is nearly over. :( I guess summer will never quite be like it was when I was a kid since I have two jobs now. Wow...that's depressing. But...I'm gonna try and enjoy every last moment of blessed "summerdom." And be sure that I'll share all that I do with you! :)
Smile - it's still summer!!! :D

Pavlova!
Great stuff...still can't beat banoffee though, in my opinion.
Looks like you're having a good summer! :D Although we still need to meet up and go to CE sometime...we're not so great at this scheduling thing huh? lol Well, hope you continue to enjoy summer. Nichole and I are finally getting to go on a road trip of our own next week - PA and then on to NY. Should be fun. Anyway, take care, and call me sometime! ;D
What a fun, happy post! This makes me smile! Thank you, friend! :) I'm glad you are having a delightful summer! I looooove the sunflowers! Happiness!!!

Wow! Very eventful! Sounds like you are enjoying your summer and making the most of it. Your brother is very lucky to have a sis like you, too!
Special times. =)
I'm thinking about making some carrot soup. I wanted to make brown bread but it calls for a special flour mixture that would probably be hard to find here, not to mention expension.
