Our first time harvesting honey! We did everything by hand, low budget. The honey is sooo delicious. We have harvested again from one hive this summer. So exciting! And we bought a small extractor. Makes an enormous difference in how long, and how messy the process takes.
Happy Father's Day to our awesome dad!
On the last day of school Abby spent the night. The kids convinced me to let them burn all their old school papers. I think we have created a new tradition! Noah and Jason were camping in the woods so they missed out on our fun, but had a great time on their own.
Catching fireflies never looses it magic. At least not for me or any of the kids yet. We have spent many an evening on the front porch watching while the kids catch them this summer. I love that it doesn't hurt the fire flies at all.
Jason couldn't come on our camping trip to the beach in July. We missed him, but had a fabulous time at the beach! The hot, humid, sticky, dirty camping part was not so great.
Our boogie boards were literally falling apart. I let each of the kids pick out a new one. They spent almost every second from then on body surfing. So fun! We also found some beautiful shells, the assorted clams and a small starfish. Luke found it first. It looked like a tentacle from some creature, but it was a tangled up star fish. We kept it in our bucket for a bit and then put it back out in the surf. Fort Fisher beach is our new favorite. I can't believe we have never been there before!

I'm super jealous of your honey. Looks like a fun summer so far. I'm also jealous that you can take your kids to the beach by yourself. I'm definitely not to that place yet.
You are such a fun mom! It looks like a blast at that beach. xo
