July has been a month of non-stop action! We've had lots of house guests, attended VBS, Lily enjoyed sewing camp and made a ton of cool things, including a cute skirt, a bedside storage unit, and a great reversible bag. We also took a road trip to Williamsburg and the Jamestown Settlement with the O'Masta clan and cousin Hannah. The girls had a good time together.

We just returned from a week-long road trip from Stoddard New Hampshire where along the way, we enjoyed going into a coal mine, visiting the Yankee Candle Flagship store and making our own Yankee sand candles, swimming, kayaking, and playing in an amazing lake up in New Hampshire, and the kids all-time favorite, visiting the Pez factory in CT. Highlights from the trip included picking wild blueberries and helping Ms. Catherine make a homemade Blueberry pie and Lily trying kayaking for the first time.

Also in mid-July, Lily was finally able to take out her starter earrings, with a little drama, but after several attempts, she got finally got both pairs out!
Also, Lily Bean and I have been enjoying geocaching. She has gotten really good at it! She has a "geo-sense" that her mama definitely does not have! She is always finding the most difficult ones even though most of us have already given up in surrender! We've enjoyed sharing our hobby with our friends this summer!
