summer fun ~ June

As I upload pictures on to my computer from my phone, I am quickly realizing almost one month of summer is gone (insert sigh).  We've spent some fun days at the pool, playing out back, bike rides, park/picnic trips & zoo trips already...before I get too backlogged with pictures, I thought I would update with pictures from June.

We also hosted the Miller & Schlipf's for Father's Day so it was fun to catch up family...below are just a few pictures of that festivity.

Daddy opening his Father's Day presents...he got a flashlight "for camping" from Haven & 2 new dress shirts & a new tie from me...handy, huh?

 an attempt at a Father's Day shot :)

Almost done...pictures from our family camp out:

smore time!

Haven, why do you like tenting so much?

"Because it's SOOOOO cozy!"

Yep, Mommy set up the tent all by herself!

If our camp site looks a lot like our backyard...well, because it is!

 

sooo, maybe I was the last one to wake up :)...at like 6:30AM!! 

Ahh...the joys of camping!

a Daddy-daughter date at Parklands!
