“Camping”

 We camped, kinda. More like ‘glamping’ 😆
I did a LOT of camping as a child, with my family and the girl scouts. My family asked what I used to do, like I’m some kind of expert. 😄
One family tradition was to use burnt wood and leave your mark on your campsite. 💖

Beach Time With Friends

 Beach time with the Hodapp kids today.

Sewing Again

Felicity also wanted to try her hand at sewing. Here’s her new teddy bear, Cuddles. 

F’s Gymnasics

This little firecracker made it!  I worried that she wouldn’t be able to do it, because she’s never tried it before, and she kept getting stuck on the top. After about 10 times, she made it the VERY last time. 

ALWAYS watch your kids at practice because you’re the 1st person they look for when they succeed!

E’s First Quilt

Elizabeth wanted to try her hand at sewing a quilt. I tried to get her to do something simple to see if she liked it. Of course she wanted squares which was not in my game plan, but it all came back to me after 20 years. She was very patient and did very well. She still won’t press the pedal on the sewing machine, but did everything else.  😆
