We checked off several "Summer Bucket List" items in July! You will see this symbol
(√) when an item was checked off of our list
The Aviation Museum of Kentucky near Bluegrass Airport
(√)
Pretending to fly a helicopter
and a plane, of course
Watching a private plan taxi for take-off
I had parked Rex's stroller facing away from the planes because of the sun
Danny wanted to make sure Rex could see, though, and asked to turn him around
Such a fun day with good friends!
We went to Orange Leaf afterward for a cool treat!
Lyla had 6 roly poly pets that she kept all summer.
She finally decided it was time to release them
Lyla and Aiden played water games (√) while I washed my car
Aiden wasn't intentionally spraying her in the face--it was pretty funny
Then I started my very first fire and we roasted s'mores! (√)
Then we caught fireflies (√) and got eaten by mosquitoes...which wasn't on our list, but happened OFTEN.
Granny kept Rex so Seth and I could take Lyla fishing (√) out on the boat
Daddy teaching Lyla all about fishing
They caught one!
It was special time with our girl. Pouring rain cut our trip short. Lyla and I only got a little wet, but Seth got soaked loading the boat up. Granny was waiting at the door with towels for him.
Hiked (√) in the Tom Dorman Nature Preserve
Lyla was covering her head to avoid spider webs
Danny kept us safe
My first hike with Rex in the hiking pack we are borrowing
We stopped for a snack break and apparently left one of Rex's socks at this spot. Oops
We were all tired and ready to finish our hike, but I kept Rex smiling by getting him in the face with his burp cloth
Lyla was a trooper, but made it clear she didn't want to hike again any time soon
On our way to our family reunion, we stopped in North Carolina for an overnight stay with our great friends, the Larsens!
Seth helped reach some green beans that were too high up
So thankful for Andrea and her family. She is such an amazing person.
Lyla and Sophia are growing up way too fast!
We arrived in Georgia (√) for my dad's family reunion where Rex's twin cousins, Justin and Jesse, baffled him.
This picture makes me laugh because everyone appears to be so focused on Rex who is just eating.
Second cousins, Brooke and Lyla
They have both changed a lot since the reunion last summer
The original six Hunt siblings: Wayne, Bobby, George, Sara, Charles, and Farris
We had a good sized group this year!
My dad was proud to have so many of his family there.
Glad Lyla and Rex got some quality time with two out of three of their Georgia cousins
We conclude the awesome month of July with this sweet picture of Rex and Lyla just hanging out on Lyla's bed.
