Spring & Summer Fun

Okay, so I have been very bad, and not been blogging at all. I need to repent, and be a better blogger. So to do a quick recap of our Spring and Summer:

April highlights: Rain, Rain and more Rain. We did manage to hit the Zoo once, but mostly we stayed home where it was dry. Of course, we did continue with our Swimming lessons where we were all wet, but that was planned. Emma also got sick for a few weeks, so we were down for a while.

May highlights: More Rain. We had a very wet Spring here in Oregon. Wettest on on history is what I hear. Even with the rain, we did manage to make it to the Zoo again, and visit the new black bears. We celebrated Mothers Day and had fun with the Family at home.

June highlights: Even more Rain. We were anxious for some summer weather. We visited the zoo once more, and spent some time in Parks introducing Emma to swings, which she loves! We celebrated Father's Day with my side of the family with a Family BBQ at Joe and Meredith's. Glenn got a Tie from them, and a book from me.

July highlights: Camping at Fort Stevens with my extended Cantrell family where we had more (you guessed it) Rain. Emma had fun playing in the sandy dirt and crawling around the RV. We also discovered that she had broken in 3 new teeth (her Molars). A week after we returned, Emma decided it was finally time to walk, and she is now on the go all the time if we let her. My cousin Bethany and her kids visited from AZ. So did Glenn's Aunt Lori and Uncle Chris, along with their son Brian. We got together with both groups. It was good to see them all. Emma and I visited the Zoo once more, this time with Bethany, Katy and kids. Also, we joined OMSI and saw the Einstein exhibit. We also introduced Emma to the Discovery Space there, which she LOVED. I can not stress enough, this is a great place to take a young child. They will have hours of fun.

So, here we are in August. Looking back over our Spring and early Summer, maybe I have not blogged because we really didn't do much. What can I say, we are just homebodies! :)
