We went home and didn't leave for the rest of the day. I plopped myself on the couch with a heating pad and my wonderful husband cooked dinner. Brianna made patriotic chocolate chip cookies.

The month of June flashed by like a bolt of lightning. Speaking of lighting, we had a pretty bad storm last night. The weather for June has been very rainy and also extremely hot. It's impossible to step outside without suffocating. I love summer but this is a bit much, even for me. The start of summer vacation has been pretty relaxing. For a homebody like me it's been wonderful but for my energetic kids they really don't enjoy boredom, even if it's just ONE day with nothing to do. As a kid I remember always having to entertain myself. These kids have a rough time figuring out how to keep occupied on their own. Times have changed.
As I type, I hear thunder begin again. My goodness. I think it's time to start building that ark again.
Before we get into the hustle and bustle of what July will bring I wanted to do a recap of some of the things we did get a chance to do in June. On the first day of June and the official start of summer vacation my daughter had her violin recital. For four years she had been taking violin lessons online from a teacher who used to live in our town but moved to Virginia. It seemed Bri lost her desire to continue so this was her last "concert" and time spent with Miss. Elizabeth.
And with summer comes hiking for our county's Get Outdoors program. They set up 30 different hikes where we have to read through the directions and find our way to a wooden pole that has a plaque where they can rub onto paper. We strive to do this every year but have sadly only had accomplished all 30 once. We had a late start to it this year but we are aiming to get it all done.
"Lord, every morning you hear my voice. Every morning I tell you what I need, and I wait for your answer," -- Psalm 5:3
This verse was in my Jesus First For Women devotional and it made me think of a specific time I had prayed for something, and even though it took quite a few frustrating years, it was answered in a way I'm so thankful for.
After getting harnessed and put in the car it was time for a fun morning adventure with human Mom.
Or so she thought. Where did we end up going?The vet!
