Aug 2022 - Rest of the month + First day of School

 August 2022


Jill, Chloe, and Rex went to Youth camp.  Ike spent the week at the Wildings.  

I was left Home Alone!

I was at a late meeting and my keys were left in my office so I couldn't get into my building.  I also left my ebike computer in my office.  Did I mention Jill was at Girls camp?

So I had to ride my non-ebike home in 90 degree, up-hill. My reword was to go for a swim after getting home...but the pool was closed for COVID sanitizing.  BOOO!


Beautiful moon on a late night walk

I love the church in our village.


Jill, Looking soo good at Girls Camp.
(She's going to do a post for Youth Camp)


Ike somehow fit here. 

Ike also have a big love for bowling.  He really gets into it.  On a good day he beats me




He also gets upset when the he only knocks some pins down.

Harry Potter Legos at the Garden Park



Mini golf. Ike's Dreams came true that day.


Bike ride to a hidden castle.




Picking Black Berries
Rex loves black berries...if you couldn't tell.  He also loves giving them to his chickens. When they get black berrys on their feather it looks like the chickens just murdered something. 

The top ones are the best. 





Ike's first trip to the Climbing Forest. 

During one of the first obstacles Ike got scared and told me he couldn't do it, he's going to fall.  Being the awesome dad I am, i say "you can do it Ike, just keep going." He mustered up the courage and finished the obstacle. 

Later on I fund out he hadn't yet realized the harnesses would catch him and he truly thought he would fall to the ground.

I snuck Jill out for a paddle board date night (without kids!)


Be still my heart.


Pole(ie).  

Bennet loves climbing the pole at our house, but all my photos of her climbing she's in her underware...Sorry world, I'm not contributing to child porn.
