Summer fun!

First of all, Lily has a wonderful time at sleepaway camp!  She said she cried a tiny bit when Abigail left, but she bounced back quickly.  So proud of her.  I was totally expecting her to run up to me with wide open arms shouting "Mommy".  Oh well, only in my fantasy.  She actually was quite aloof.  Oh well.  Glad to know she felt so independent!

The following week we headed to North Carolina for Grandma Ginger's 75th birthday.  Olav put Lily in the 3rd row of the truck so she and Ashton wouldn't fight as much!  Of course, Lily's first question was, "If I sit in the back, how will I get the Kindle?"  Can you say ONE TRACK MIND!!!!!  Lucky for her each child got their own Kindle tablet for the ride.  She had a fabulous time playing with her cousins!  On the way down we stopped at Natural Bridge.  Lily really enjoyed the Native American reenactment that was there.  On the way back we stopped at the Johnson City Children's Museum.

Upon our return, she went to VBS and Sewing Camp.  She was soooo excited about sewing camp.  She made a long maxi skirt, a dress, a craft bag, and a unicorn head!

Today we had a new family experience because Ashton always seems to enjoy Blaze and the Monster Machines and Paw Patrol. So we went to a Monster Truck Jam.  At first, Lily was a little skeptical, but I think she really enjoyed it!  There was even a female monster truck driver who drove a pink monster truck named Madusa!
