already august

I say already August but it feels like we have done a pile this summer. For the last week it has been hot and sunny so have been trying to make the most of it. Lately that includes traveling from friend's cottage to friend's backyard to other friend's cottage.

 We've also been sculpting ducks.

 We've been baking.

 We've been crafting.

 We've been exploring local trails on foot and by bike.

We've been doing a little of this.

And a little of that.

 We've been hot tubing.

 We've been brewing.

We've been growing some hair.

 We've been climbing.

 We've been conquering.

And this morning we have excitedly been watching construction on the backyard begin.

In other news, I took Elliott to the barbershop today where he was asked by his barber, "what have you been up to this summer?" His response, "it's my birthday party." Okay great. True it is his birthday party in like another nine days but come on kid, you're killing me. Are you saying that all our efforts to date have been in vain? So stay tuned it is in fact Elliott's fifth birthday and from the sound of it we better make it one to remember

August on everyone. Enjoy!
