Number 200!

Welcome to blog update number 200!  July has been super busy and super fun!  Despite my three work trips this month, the kids have been enjoying the summer and all it has to offer.


 






Fourth of July festivities.
The kids from 1/2 a block surrounding us!

At the start of the neighborhood parade

The great?! Bradburn parade


Ellis really just wanted to eat the snacks

Sparkler!!


First fireworks
One of the highlights of the summer in our neighborhood is the annual kids triathlon.  They raise money for charity, about 100 kids participate and it's a great annual event!  This was Nora's first year participating, and Rocco and Sawyer Berg came all the way from 'the city' to race.  Nanny Carol and Papa Rich were visiting and helped manage Ellis which Nora enjoyed the race.








That determination!


High five at the finish
 

Due to a business trip, I missed all the fun :(  The first thing Nora told me on the phone was that she won the triathlon and got a medal (they all get a medal...).  And when she took a nap that afternoon, the medal went with her-so cute!

Enjoying the food truck fare



Dinner

A Sunday morning hike.



A perfectly sensible hiking outfit, right?

Mmmm, warm chocolate chip cookies.

Some park fun on Saturday morning.



Remember Nora's friend Finn?  He lives in Atlanta now, but came for a visit last weekend.  They had a blast playing, just like they always used to!
