scenes from summer

I cannot believe that more than half of the summer is over already! Summer always goes way too fast!

Here are some pictures of a few things we have enjoyed so far this summer.

*Time in the back yard.












*Enjoying smores at a campfire.


*Lighting bottle rockets.


*Fireworks on the Fourth of July.


*Beautiful flowers (and vegetables and fruits) at the local farmer's markets.


*Walks around 'the lakes' and time at the Rose Garden.






*Trying new recipes like these Jalapeno Poppers from Pioneer Woman.


*Time relaxing.


*My car flipped 100,000. (I know- exciting stuff here!!)


*Shopping withTyler for college.


*A night listening to Blues at the MN Zoo.


It has been a fun and relaxing summer so far and I am hoping the rest of the summer proves to be a lot of the same!
