I have to say that 2016 must go down in history as the fastest summer EVER!! Since its now already OCTOBER, I guess its time for the summer recap!
 |
| Sailor June celebrating Independence Day in style! |
 |
| 4th of July fireworks in the marina parking lot! |
 |
| On long hot summer days, the boys take advantage of my "no more electronics" rule, and build themselves a little movie theatre out of a cardboard box. They are watching Toy Story 3 here. |
 |
| We hosted David for 10 days as a part of our church's German/Russian/American Partnership that we participate in every summer. David is from Germany and stayed with us for 10 days! He was such a fun guest, and a treasured new friend. Also, an amazing cultural experience for our family. |
 |
| We had a fun summer picnic as part of GARP. We had a blast hanging out with our friends. Here's Miriam and Anna Grace - sweet sisters! |
 |
| Summertime hayride! |
 |
| The kiddos with our pastor, Don, and two more of our German friends, Stefan and Ida |
 |
| Some more of our sweet Crossroads church family! |

| Summertime = plenty of Lego creations. Keaton was particularly proud of this base setup, so I wanted to document. |
 |
| Doughnuts when our A/C went out! |
 |
| Mmmmm! |
 |
| Monkey see, monkey do |
 |
| Snoopy snow cones on a hot day! |
 |
| And I randomly met Bob Dole at the National Mall! What a nice man! |
 |
| Scott has Popcicle Thursdays at work in the summer. I received a funny selfie like this every other week. |
 |
| The boys had a blast at the Boy Scout "Rain Gutter Regatta!" |
 |
| And a couple of somewhat successful fishing outings! |
Whew! what a summer!
