Last Days of Summer

Soaking up the last days of summer vacation....

Grandma Bose came and took each boy for their own special day. 

Tucker chose the Hastings Museum, McDonalds and a movie, Harold and the Purple Crayon.

Mason chose the Lincoln Children's' Museum, Subway and Round One Arcade.

Mason then went on to Tekamah with Grandma for a funeral while Tucker and I took Jentry and friends to the Lake.  

I tried to keep Tucker occupied so that the girls could have some alone time.

Papa proudly showed us his progress on the Diamond T Truck project.  He had fun showing us the massive wire puzzle he had to solve.

Tucker spent one night at the Hamiltons' and got to go rabbit hunting with Uncle Chad.

The cool temps were a reminder that Fall is just around the corner!

Eternal Summer

Man did this summer whiz by! 

The last weekend in July we enjoyed the wind, caught some fish, took in a bit of the Harlan County Fair and even got to float down the Republican with the Hamiltons.

Meanwhile, in a little place called Burwell, Jentry was enjoying a surprise visit from her Arizona family and cousin Dani!

A grateful heart brings light, warmth and hope that never ends. May yours be filled with an eternal summer!

SOAR

Mason and his friend, Beckham, attended SOAR camp for the first time this summer. SOAR (Summer Orientation About Rivers) is a nature day camp organized by the Prairie Plains Resource Institute in Aurora, NE. They got to spend four days exploring the Platte River and other outdoor environments in the area. They had a blast getting wet and even learned a few new things.

Cousin Fun

Our annual lake weekend with the Unterseher cousins did not disappoint.  The temps were high so we spent a good deal of time in the water but dare I say it was fun for all ages!

The sunset hour created stunning pink light.
