July 1 - Somewhere in Illinois on our way to Cindy and Ken's. Might take us a while if that's how fast we have to go.
We were able to go faster and made it! We got there in time to eat, go for a walk, sit on the patio for a bit, and see which cats were going to like us. This time it was Noodle.
July 2 - The cats are funny watching Cindy work out. They really want to work out too!
We went to Dutch Creek Farm in Shipshewana, Indiana. Cindy and Ken were kind enough to pose for me in front of this silly Kangaroo statue.
Petting all kinds of different animals is always fun.
Still getting to know the animals.
Feeding the animals from the horse drawn wagon. They are not shy!
All kids of animals, even a Zorse, which is a zebra/horse mix.
Not sure this is a Highland cow, but sure does look like one.
We celebrated Cindy's 43rd birthday! Blake even sang a "special" song.
Some of us watched Wimbledon, the cats are becoming more friendly. I even touched Shady.
July 3 - We left really early to go fishing on Lake Michigan. We were actually out on the water before 5:30. We got to go on The Fish Stalker with Kevin Roberts as our captain again.
Blake is holding the pole up by a light, so the sinker will glow under the water. Ken reeled in the first fish before Kevin was really ready. His was the big one. Blake reeled in the little one.
Ken got another one, then Cindy and I had a turn reeling one in. We got 6 all together. It's pretty exciting.
This was funny, Ken planned to wear the same clothes as he did two years ago. He was sad because Cindy and I couldn't.
Blake had the same sweatshirt, but a different hat.
I didn't even try to get the same poses.
I love Noodle's heart on his side. Blake in his usual pose on the patio and Shady visiting again.
July 4 - Blake took Ruckus for a little walk. Striking his usual pose "watching the cats play". Shady visits again.
Stovers U Pick and Farm Fresh Produce. The cherries were still on and the blueberries were just starting, so we picked both.
July 5 - Fernwood Gardens - We walked the trails of this pretty botanical garden. We had a map to follow. Cindy says I was camouflaged.
July 6 - On our way home - almost to Cheyenne, we hit a really bad rainstorm, complete with thunder and lightning, we drove into it, then quickly drove out of it.
July 7 - The rock formations in Wyoming are pretty interesting. This is the Montpelier Temple. We went a lot of miles! But, we got pretty good mileage.
July 10 - I got to spend some time with Cole and Ryder. I love watching Ryder interact with his brother.
July 12 - I got to spend some more time with Cole!
He's a real goer! Always on the move!
Blake went for an ATV ride with Randy, Ryder and most of Brian's family. They said it was fun.
July 15 - I couldn't resist taking a picture of these beautiful roses when I was deadheading.
July 17 - I got to go the Idaho Falls Temple with my mom! It was great!
July 18 - A gorgeous sunrise.
July 19 - Blake and I went to the new Syracuse, Utah Temple. It was beautiful inside and out!
July 20 - We went to my nephew Samuel Leifson's farewell before he leaves for the Copenhagen, Denmark Mission. He gave a really nice talk.
July 21 - Another wonderful sight to start the day.
I got to spend some time with Scottlynn. She's a little like her mother and won't look at the camera.
July 22 - I almost missed this sunrise.
Our neighbor's chickens and ducks like to come visit our yard.
July 24 - I happen to catch a hummingbird in the flowers. It's a little hard to see.
I don't know why the circles ended up on these photos too. Hallie and Penny really enjoyed their cupcakes at the stake 24th celebration.
July 26 - Blake went huckleberry picking with Brian and Aubrey, this chipmunk is the only picture he took. I got to hang out with Scottlynn. She took a nice nap on my lap. Her hair was wild when she woke up.
She loves the tramp. It also makes her hair wild.
July 27 - We celebrated Courtney's birthday. Her birthday is August 1st.
Shauna and Troy came for dinner and we played a long, fun game of Phase 10 Flip. Scottlynn and Penny played and played with the toys. Molly, Hallie and Penny did some painting. Penny was very jealous when Jared was holding Scottlynn, she had to be held too.
Now, cats came to visit. Scottlynn and Declan loved petting them.
July 29 - More beautiful roses, adorned with a praying mantis.
Penny came to hang out with me for a bit. This is how she napped. She got to choose a big treat because she went potty!
July 30 - I love these beautiful scenes Heavenly Father created for me!
