Summer Recap: August

It was long past time for us to update our living room furniture. The recliner we had was a hand me down from my grandpa and our sectional was sinking on one side and not real comfortable anymore. Matt and I went furniture shopping on our anniversary date and found this couch, loveseat, recliner, coffee table, and 2 end tables at Art Van Furniture in Mishawaka. So far, we LOVE it! Everything reclines and is really comfy. It's quite a bit larger than our other furniture, but everything fits! 😁

The first weekend of August, we finally found a summer date to go camping with the Davis family. We had wanted to go to Warren Dunes and camp there, but a few weeks before, there were 0 campsites. Actually there were 0 campsites anywhere near Lake Michigan for that weekend. So, we ended up in France Park in Logansport. It is by a quarry so the water was beautifully clear and nice. There were bike trails, a waterfall, disc golf, and a lot for the kids to do. The campsites themselves were really small. We ended up in a different spot than we reserved which was bigger and closer to the beach. We realized on this trip that our water tank is really small (after I was halfway through a shower and ran out of water!).

Soccer season ended just as school was about to start. Landon and Emmy played on the same team as last year and had a great time. Landon scored several goals and Emmy tried her hand at being goalie. ⚽

Go #9 and #10!

I usually take my own sports pictures of the kids because they are so expensive so on the last night, I had Emmy take photos while Landon was finishing supper (he's the last one EVERY night!). I thought, no problem, I'll just take Landon's pictures when we get home.
