It is almost Fall...

I can not believe I have taken so long to update. Of course I get so distracted that I barely know the day but still. Summer really passed us by this year. 
   I was happy for the cooler weather but it rained soooo much. I did get a little fruit from my trees and bushes but not much. No cherries because of the cold spring. My tomatoes are just now ripening and it is time to plant the fall garden. 
 So here is a rundown of our summer:Part 1

Mason and I hiked
a little of the Appalachian Trail. (AT)

Lightning Struck tree on AT

Mason looking cool

We got some sheep

I cut down some Trees

Jack Graduated a year early.

He doesn't think he needs this.

Awkward pics are the best.

Goofy

We rode the Metro to the Smithsonian.

I will talk about Part 2 of summer tomorrow. Get ready for lots of shots of all the ways I managed to hurt myself.

I cleaned the garage out, then decided that the floor was too ugly so I painted it.

Much better.

We also got a goat.

We played paintball for the first time. It would have been more fun if we could have seen through the foggy, dirty goggles. Next time we will just play at home and shoot each other. 

Mason felt pretty tough.

Lots of mask adjusting.

We are ready for the guns.

Val and Mason.

Princess decided to help me pack my errand bag.

Mason started a Home school Karate class. He is doing really well.
