Father's Day Weekend, Baseball State, and rest of June

June 14 - My last baby lost her 1st tooth!
June 15 - Another great week of VBS
June 16 - Officially feels like summer now that we had the RV out! BellaMei as asleep less than 30 minutes from home.
Krista had chemo, so we took their girls with us up to the campground. Tim & Krista joined us later. 
I love getting one-on-one time with my girls. As soon as Beilyn sat down, she said, "So who's your favorite child??" 😄
June 17 - A hike to start our morning.

We interrupted our camping weekend to cheer on our Vikings at State! The girls decorated the RV before we left. #22 and #35 are Sydney's & Brynna's boyfriends.
#7 for our cousin Brody!
It was a fun experience but disappointing loss (decided on a questionable balk).
After the game, we went out to eat to celebrate Tim's birthday. Beilyn was so excited to be served an adult glass of water. No kid cup for the 10 year old. 😄
June 18 - Father's Day at the campground
We often joke that Alex resembles his favorite person.
Brynna took this of me & Alex enjoying dessert Sunday evening while watching golf. It was a great way to end the weekend.

June 19 - The girls did salt art.
June 20 - Bria made her 1st apple pie. It was so good!

June 25 - Brielle had another softball tourney. There was a rain delay, then it was steamy & sunny, and then it hailed! 
Meanwhile, the older girls spent the last week of June in Ohio with their youth group at Rosedale Bible College.

Start of Summer! {All the things we would have missed}

It's a weird feeling when you get to do all the things (and some unexpected things) you thought you were going to miss because of the graduation trip. The first surprise was Braylee being invited to join her BFF for a week at the beach! It made the sting of not flying out on Saturday a little less painful. 😄 

June 6 - Meanwhile, we had a pool date with the neighbors.
Brynna went fishing with Landon.
June 9 - Bria attended her 1st overnight at Camp Illiana.
Elsie was so excited Bria could join her!
And cousin Mattinglee was there too!! 💗
We thought we would miss Brielle's softball tourney but made it to every game.
June 10 - We went straight from Brielle's game to the baseball Semi-State. We were excited to see Braylee after her week away.
Semi-State champs!
Swartzentruber cousins
The recent graduates
June 11 - Another day of softball.
So thankful we were there for Landon's baptism.
June 12 - Brielle made some delicious macarons!
June 13 - The garage was officially done so I took pictures for insurance. We're really happy with how it turned out! Now, we just need to add furniture. Braylee plans to stay out there on the weekends once she moves to college.
