What a Summer!

It was an amazing summer and a whirl-wind to say the least. We were so blessed to be able to spend the summer closer to family. I think the boys logged just under 6,000 miles in the car in 72 days. They were incredible! Here are just a few highlights.

- We made a trip to Denton to see all of Bryan's family and even got to go to a Ranger's game. The boys danced and laughed the whole time - they had a blast.

- We got to live near an Army base and visit the museums several times. The boys learned that there Great Granddad was stationed at that very base for basic training.
- Luke was sure we were living in the wild wild west.
- Spent lots of time at the wildlife refuge with these guys! Plus, the scorpions, ticks, deer, ground hogs, turkey and multiple other wild animals.
- Luke celebrated his 3rd Birthday while we were gone.

- We lost our cat Cheetah to the coyotes but thankfully Grammy McCrary's cat had just had a litter of kittens and this little one came back to Kentucky with us. Originally named "Spotter" but has since been renamed Padme.- Went fishing with my brother (Uncle Josh) and caught several fish.
We climbed mountains in New Mexico and the Wichita Mountains outside of Lawton, OK.
- We also made the annual fourth of July parade and turtle race in Canadian, Texas

- Isaiah and Luke took two weeks of swimming lessons and made huge steps towards actually being self sufficient in deep water without a floatation device. I think that wraps it up.... Oh - and a trip to San Antonio and Canyon - all so much fun.
