What Happened to June?

I know I went missing in action for the month of June.  But I just couldn't write after my Grandma passed away.  And as Nathan and I looked back we realized that not only could I not write for a time, I didn't even pick up the camera to take pictures.  It seemed like it all was just put on hold during my time of grieving.  Thankfully I joined Instagram shortly after my Grandma's memorial service and it filled in a little where I totally lacked in pictures from my regular camera.  But I also missed capturing a lot of fun memories along the way.  Like our first camping trip of the year which included out sweet little Elijah who was only 3 months old.  The kids had a blast, and I did as well but I don't have pictures to show for it.  It was Nathan's birthday and Father's Day celebration after all. 

Boo! 

Complete fail! 

For Nathan's birthday, which also turned out to be Father's Day weekend, we decided to head back down to Bismarck and camp in our tent for the first time this year.  We also spent the day at their outdoor water park and had a great time!  The kids had a blast camping and we couldn't have asked for a better weekend.

We also took a trip to Minnesota for a family camp.  I happened to grab my camera and snap a couple pictures as an afterthought.  Again, it was another great weekend.  My Zeke was totally in his element, with lots of people and kids to play with.  It was a wonderful weekend filled with lots of fellowship and fun.

There were a couple little projects worked on around the house but mostly life was just happening. 

And the last weekend of June my parents arrived after two long days of driving to get here and we filled our time with lots of celebrations, fun and projects. 

So the month flew by and before we knew it, it was over.  With few pictures to show for it.  And that makes me sad.  But thankful for all the fun we enjoyed together!
