Even though our summer was more hectic that I would have liked it to be, I learned a lot.
Would you like to know what I've learned?
That we have a frog living in our front flower bed.
 |
| He's right in the middle - hiding in the curve of the clematis. |
I learned that Buddy really does like to take pictures of just about everything!
 |
| Bakugan cards and a new stuffed leopard from Grandma and Grandpa. |
I learned how to make
French Bread - YUM!
 |
| Isn't it lovely? |
That Komodo Dragons are really odd looking little (BIG!) critters. I think it's safe to say that God as a mighty fine sense of humor!
 |
| Saying hello! |
That we had a dinosaur excavation going on in my son's bedroom.
 |
| Dinosaur excavation kit was a Christmas present. |
That this has to be buried treasure!
 |
| A partially buried rock. |
That I absolutely love canal park in downtown Duluth!
 |
| From left to right: Missy, my cousin Diane, Buddy and John. And I have no idea why they were all wearing bright green shirts! LOL! |
That you can get really close to a deer in a Minnesota State Park before they run away from you.
 |
| This dear was only about 50 feet from us at one point believe it or not! |
That pizza can be made in a Dutch Oven.
 |
| Our veggie pizza - we left it in a little long so the bottom got burnt. :( |
That I love these three people more than I ever thought possible!
 |
| Walking along the river at the State Park. |
That mixing different flavors of ICEE not only creates pretty nifty patterns but it can taste good too!
 |
| Lime, grape and cherry. |
That Kale Chips are easy to make and yummy to eat (though they taste kind of like seaweed, in my opinion).
 |
| My third batch this summer. |
That sometimes it's okay to just lay in the sun and enjoy life for a bit!
 |
| Two turtles on a log - check out the back one's legs sticking straight back! Too funny! |
That even camels like to cool off on a hot day.
 |
| I am not so sure about that green water though - yuck! |
That the St. Croix River is full of treasure!
 |
| Left to right: An "arrow head", a "tooth", a "leg bone" and a "large diamond." LOL! |
That Eggplant Parmesan can be really, really yummy!
 |
| My first attempt at making it - John ate 2/3 of this in one setting. He thought it was that good! |
What did you learn on your summer vacation?
Truly, I am so very blessed!
Soli Deo Gloria.
Always.
