Summer 2014

We had a wonderful summer. Finn and Lily went to summer camp for a week, they played lots at home and came to the barn with me to hang out with Mo and ride him, too. They can get him from his pen, put the halter on him, lead him, tie him, groom him and even climb on without help. And he is so careful around them it is amazing!

Another hit this summer was the new lounge on the back patio.


Grown-ups can lounge on it


Bunnies can hide behind it


Kids can nap on it



But - the highlight of the summer was our trip to Denmark. Oma and Opa rented a nice house by the beach and invited us to come along. "Us" included Lily's bunny who needed some medical attention and an environment without flies and couldn't be left at home. She was a good traveller and didn't get seasick on the ferry.

Short hair

Finn decided he needed a short summer haircut. He told the stylist exaxtly how he wanted it cut. We like it!



Camping in Italy, June 2014

During the kids' two week school break (the weeks after Pentecost weekend) we packed up our tent and countless other necessities, stuffed it all in the car and drove 6 hours south. We ended up in Italy, near Venice, at a big campground right by the beach. It had swimming pools, horses, a turtle pond, restaurants, shops, a small amusement park, minigolf and much more. Here are some pictures from our vacation. We had a great time!
Now the kids are back in school and can't wait for summer break to start. Their last day of school will be July 30th.
