Celebrating dads and end-of-school!

Buckle in for another big backtracking post! Back to before summer even started!!!

June was filled with celebrations and milestones, including a sweet Father's Day honoring two of our favorite men. We are so grateful for both!

 







Some more special weekend fun!

Maelee's 2-night GS camping trip!

Enjoying time with Nana & Pop-Pop while Maelee was at camp!


Our crew of buddies from church, at a last hurrah farewell party for some sweet friends before they headed off to Oman!


June was also filled with LOTS of end-of-school activities!

Ollie's last hip hop class!

Bridging to a JUNIOR Girl Scout!



Maelee's 3rd grade class lunch-at-the-park! (Which Lilee loved being part of!) 
Plenty of games, fun, and sun!




Field day for Maelee and Ollie! Lilee even helped out with one of the games and it was great to see the big kids having a blast on the field!



Last day of school awards!
"Most Cooperative!" 😆

So proud of his poem!

We are so proud of how far he came in Kindergarten!


Lilee's last day of Pre-K was very bittersweet. It was such a great year for her and she just adored her teachers, her classmates, and the entire program and school. All three kiddos went through Mrs. Fredericksen's Pre-K class at Our Savior Lutheran and it was such a positive experience and preparation for all of them, so it was hard to say goodbye!


Final performance :)


Nothing like sharing her Pre-K year with one of her favorite people of all time, her dearest Chloe.

Maelee got "Most Outgoing!" 

Continuing the tradition of Baskin Robbins with Nana & Pop-Pop to cap off the last day!

It really was a great school year for all three!

Time to bust out the sprinklers!

And lots of fun treats.

And pool time!

Time for summer!!!

Strawberries in Delaware and Wine in Delaplane

Our whole family had a very sweet weekend visit to DE in the middle of May for the Fifer Strawberry Festival and to see Too-Mom plus Tom and Viv. Then Steve and I had a very sweet 2-night trip in the middle of June to celerate our 16th wedding anniversary at an adorable bed and breakfast in the middle of Virginia wine country. (Ok, technically we didn't visit Delaplane, but rather Loudon county... close enough! I couldn't resist the title!)

Back in May, we drove up on a Saturday morning and headed straight to the festival for several hours of fun- yummy food, activities for the kids, and strawberry picking. Then Tom and Viv were so kind and gracious to have us all over to their place for a pizza dinner and lots of rides on "The Gator," which they all loved! One of our favorite trips to make as a family is to DE to see some of our favorite people and visit Fifer Farms, one of our favorite places. We are looking forward to our visit next month for the Fall Festival! 




























Lots more pictures from DE


Then only a couple weeks away from our anniversary, we decided to see if any sort of getaway might be possible and thanks to my folks and some dear friends watching the kids, we made it work! Only about an hour away in some beautiful wine country hills of VA, we enjoyed delicious meals, wonderful wine, incredible views, and the best company. 




























More pictures from our anniversary trip
HERE!

We are so grateful for our time away and the people that made it possible!
