Fun With Uncle Vittee

Everyone ready for a jump?ImageWell uncle Vittee was (not us). We were just ready to cheer him on.
ImageLast Saturday we went up to Maine to a New England drop zone to watch Vittee jump in his wing suit.
ImageWe had fun just watching him go up and down (up and down and one more time up and down)
ImageHe landed safely every single time.
ImageLet me tell you this place was busy. The plane went up every 20 minutes with tons of skydivers.
ImageVittee sure loves his hobby.
Image
The kids were busy playing and watching other skydivers all day long.
ImageI know I am missing Jo in this picture but hey three out of four is good right?
ImageLots of colors.

Harvest from my Garden

This year the girls have been a big help in my little garden. They helped me plant early in the spring and we all watched how all the different seeds started sprouting and. We are now getting to enjoy some of the fruit (vegetables) of our hard work.
I have no idea why but the summer squash has been out of control this year. I have been blessed so much I already gave away tons to my neighbors, friends and we eat summer squash almost daily.
(as you can see they are not small either)ImageWe did plant some flowers around the house.
Image
ImageSince we have been blessed in the squash department this summer we have been eating a lot of it lately. Here is one of the lunches we enjoyed this week and it was a big hit.
Image
ImageMy little garden girl.
ImageLets see:
Emma loves it.
ImageJo loves it.
ImageEven the boys were happy with their lunch.
(By the way, yes there is a Cholula in front of Sam. The boys have learned the joy of HOT sauce)
Image
Image
Happy gardening to everyone!!!
