We had a slow, laid-back, low-key kind of summer. While I longed for a family vacation, I did appreciate the time I had to simply enjoy what summer has to offer: sleeping in, time to read (for fun!), having time to work with my garden produce, baking more often, teaching Cambry how to take good photos (for 4H), and periodically working on school (or at least thinking about it).
Here is a "Summer Summary" in pictures:
June highlights included summer basketball, wheat harvest, and practicing photography skills mainly. Caiden did a fair amount of the soybean planting behind the harvested fields this year - a giant leap from the days he stood and watched Dad and Grandpa. It's been fun to watch him gradually take on more responsibilities, with their guidance, of course!

Caiden spent Wed. evenings playing basketball with his JV team in McPherson. They only won one game, but much improvement was shown over last year!
Cambry's only project in 4H this year was photography. A much lighter load meant more time practicing. She wasn't always so willing to go out to try new skills or new rules of composition, but the many, many pictures she took resulted in great outcomes at the county fair in July: 4 purples and 1 blue!

dandelion behind her also received purples. |
