So much to be thankful for this week, but I didn't take many pictures... Until Saturday!
We had a little fun on Saturday night with a campfire... We roasted hot dogs for dinner and S'mores for dessert. And had the pleasure of watching and listening to my kids have a blast playing and using their imaginations!! I had fun taking pictures until my husband told me to put my camera down and enjoy the family time! :)
It's a little scary that there are only two weeks of "summer" left! (although I am looking forward to having a routine again) This has been a most lazy summer for us. No routines, no major plans, no super busy activities. Just a whole lot of hanging out doing nothing! We've enjoyed the library a lot and park days with friends and lots of just sitting around at home. Giving thanks every day for this home, this mountain, these acres of playland...
and these kids...
Aren't these just the most beautiful kids ever?
