Stitches

No more hiking for a while. Alstan slipped while sitting on the edge of the porch and cut open the bottom of his foot on the edge of a rock below. Seven stitches later, and he will not be up for much movement that involves putting pressure on his foot.

Hike

We decided today would be a good day to get out of the house for a hike. We did good to stay away from people on the back hiking trails, but the area by the waterfall was packed. Next time I think we’ll just avoid that area. 

The kids also made lunch for dad. Alstan started the grill by himself and did all the grilling!

Father’s Day

The kids made dad breakfast in bed to start the day out right.

Testing the Camper

We haven’t been able to get out camping, but that didn’t stop the kids from enjoying the camper. They decided to sleep out in the driveway. Without mom and dad, they were able to set up an entertainment area and a sleeping area.

Visiting Grandma and Grandpa Zielicke

Today we drove up to visit the farm for a day. It was so nice to see grandma and grandpa. Elsie and Alstan were happy to see all the farm cats as well.

Biking

We met Aunt Nette in Barneveld today for a bike ride and lunch. We were able to keep our distance while enjoying time together outside!

Cove

Shortly after we moved into the house Adam spent his summer transforming this space next to our house from a weed patch into a cozy little cove. Most summers we don’t get much of a chance to spend much time down there, but this summer we are making up for lost time. It is has been a lot of fun chilling together at the end of our day.
