Gotcha Day 2020

It’s been 8 years since Harper joined our family!

We celebrated with our annual traditions

a new charm for her bracelet

adopting a doll at Build a Bear

and eating a lot of Chinese food at a buffet.

Harper ate all of this food plus 1 more plateful!

Happy Gotcha Day Harper!

Stocksdale Park

We’ve been spending most evenings at home swimming because of the coronavirus outbreak.  On Wednesday, the weather was a bit cooler so we got out and 

went to Stocksdale Park.

Luckily, it was pretty deserted.

Harper played

then we had a picnic.

She rode her bike (still waiting on the new one to arrive!)

and then played some more.

We hiked in the woods

and still weren’t ready to go home.  A trip to

Yogurtini was a perfect way to end our night!

July 4 Weekend

We had so much fun this weekend!

We spent time at Smithville Lake

Harper rode on the tube by herself!  For hours!

She invited friends over to swim

eat lunch

and play!

We got our traditional Sonic shakes

and spent a lot of time in the pool.

The most fun part was shooting fireworks!

It was a great weekend!

Happy Independence Day!

Siloam Mountain Park

Yesterday, Harper and I went to Siloam Mountain Park.

We played

and had a picnic.

We hiked the trails

and enjoyed the beauty!

The weather was perfect for a day in the park!

Smithville Lake

It finally got hot yesterday, so we headed to Smithville Lake for some fun in the sun!

We went tubing

had a picnic and played cornhole.

Harper was so excited when she scored the winning bag!

We finished the night making s’mores on the campfire!

We are enjoying every moment of the warm weather!

A Fun Spring Day

We haven’t gotten out much recently 

because of coronavirus but the weather today was perfect!

We hopped in the car and headed to Watkins Mill.

We hiked

and explored.

We had a picnic

and flew a kite!

We were having fun so we hiked some more!

Later, we practiced bike riding in the church parking lot.

Harper pedaled for 17 rotations before stopping.  She’s getting better at riding!

We celebrated with ice cream from Sheridan’s!  Harper

chose bananas with Reese’s peanut butter cups mixed in!

Today was a perfect day!
