With summer rolling in, we’re all spending as much time outdoors as we can!

Luke did quite a bit of fishing over the year and managed to snag this monster!

Luke and I took his new kite out for a spin. The wind wasn’t quite right for a kite this size but we did get it in the air for a bit.

Everyone, including Doug, is enjoying the warmer weather.

Happy 12th Birthday Luke! Luke’s friend Ben and his family, along with Anna, Layla and family joined us to help celebrate! A good time was had by all!

Luke and Ben had the idea to camp out in the back yard. We set up a tent and they ended up coming in to sleep in the house.

As a treat for Dana, I set up a pole for bird feeders. Set in about 260 lbs of concrete, this thing isn’t going anywhere!

Happy Father’s Day!

I’m pretty sure Luke was trying to do an Ace Ventura bit with his hair.

Ominous sky over the house today.

Party hats aren’t fun for all. Doug doesn’t seem to be too thrilled.
