the satisfaction of being finished, but didn't enjoy the process!)

Taste testing a Unicorn Smoothy

On August 15th, at 4am, Lily came home.  After 30 days.  It woke the whole house, shocked the whole house, and delighted the whole house.  This was an experience for all of us.

GS Troop 50303 heads to VT!  We visited the Echo Center, Lake Champlain Chocolate Factory, Ben and Jerry's Factory, rode the ferry to NY, and shared a buffet meal together.  It was a long day but it was a fun day!

Mom and Dad spent the night in Montreal with friends thanks to Grammie and Pa's help:

Velo Festif Montreal - Party Bike!

Botanical Garden

The grown-ups biked around Montreal, visited the Botanical Gardens, and caught a few minutes of the Pride Parade - one of the largest in Montreal.  Meanwhile, the girls went to the VFW picnic with Grammie and Pa at Lazy River and were able to roller skate for the first time.  We heard they had fun and that it was easier than ice skating!  They also were able to meet Grammie and Pa's new Pastor, and Claire even helped with the Communion offering!
























SUNY Potsdam Welcome Weekend Carnival:

Stella's summer job - walking Finn

We rounded out August with a trip to In-Laws Brewing Company.  The girls were happy to sit on the lawn while we tried a beverage.  We even ran into Joey and Katy!
