More summer pictures...

So summer is winding down, and there are so many pictures that I haven't posted yet. I guess it really doesn't matter since my mom is the only person who reads this blog anyway, but since she mentioned it the other day, here they are:

Elijah enjoyed playing ball again this summer. Dan was his coach again, which is fun. The kids are so cute. Mackenzie was the assistant coach this year.

In June we went to the Newman Festival. It is always a good time!

Eleanor gave it her best at the pedal tractor pull. She didn't make it very far, but she looked lovely doing it.

Elijah did great and took home the third place trophy in his age group.

On Friday evening, just after the tractor pull, a nasty storm was headed towards Newman. We left town just before it hit, but then stopped on the way to have a little weather watching lesson. We homeschoolers are weird like that.

This is a wall cloud.

This is a wall cloud trying to form a funnel.

Maybe we should head on home.

The next day we were back in Newman for the parade.

The Lion's Club Marching Band. The fact that I am posting this is proof that my father can no longer embarass me by any silly thing he does. I'm completely immune.

Our friend Therese pretending like she doesn't know us.

Watching the fireworks later that night.

Ooh. Ahh.
