July happenings

In between all of our trips up north, we crammed in lots of fun near home!

I have few garden pics this year, but we've had great luck at both of our veggie gardens. Here's a haul from our community garden:


I had a groupon for a trampoline place, so we invited jessis friend and the girl went crazy ! In addition to all these trampolines, there was a dodgeball court (fun!), many basketball hoops, and a foam pit.



We went out to a new DQ on our way home:



We went to the zoo one cold day:





This one is my favorite! Jess couldn't fit on, so she cried and carried on. Here she is, melting:





One of many DQ trips:


Water slide fun at a friends house:


Another groupon purchase - glo golf!


Katie and Megan went to "Chopped" cooking camp at a local church. It was just like the show, each group of 4 kids got some weird ingredients and had to make an appetizer, entree, and dessert every day. They loved it! Here are the judges sampling dessert:


K and M in the kitchen:


Jess was too young for cooking camp, so she went to "MI critters camp". Here are some of the treasures she made:


One night we went to Meadowbrook to watch the DSO perform (wsg Joshua Bell!). He was incredible, and it was a lovely night. I had warned the girls that there would be no crazy dancing, or special effects, etc. They brought rainbow looms and friendship bracelets to keep themselves busy. But Megan had the quote of the day, about ten min into the performance. "I didn't know it would be THIS boring!"


At a local park, Megan found this super cute tree frog:


She named it Lily:


We spent one Saturday at Stony Creek Metropark, and biked 6 miles around the big lake:


We had a nice picnic lunch, then explored the park:


At home, we found a robins nest in our magnolia bush. It's been fun to watch the babies grow:


We went putt putting one afternoon :
