July's events included the annual church Fish Fry, including the debut of our "green" servingware (brought to you by yours truly). James cut fish for 4 hours, Dad played bluegrass and supervised the fish cooking, Mom supervised the children's area, and I made baked goods and worked a shift at the inflatable obstacle course. I also sat at a table with a man who later turned out to be my third cousin on Dad's side of the family! That day also happened to be Granddaddy Ed's 88th birthday. He had many well-wishers, and was serenaded with "Happy Birthday to You" by the bluegrass band on local radio.
What else? Let's see...
We released the tadpoles into a backwater area of the river with some help from neighboring kids... (Fare thee well, little froggies!)
Went swimming... (BTW, you can recycle foam peanuts at UPS and FedEx stores)
Found the girl who fit the slipper...
Had a great (but brief) visit with Granna, Louis, Sarah, Ashley, and Rachel (including treats at B & R!) before they headed to see "Elvis" at the fair...
And spotted this 6-point buck in the backyard one misty morning!
Other than that, we've done a lot of scooter riding and ball playing with neighbors in the evenings, replaced 500 square feet of carpet with Pergo floors, and done some work on the landscaping project in the back and side yards (pictures to come!).
