july wrap-up...

since it's the end of the month, we were going through all of our pictures (and boy, there are A LOT of them, as usual!) and realized we forgot to share quite a few miscellaneous july pictures.  so some of the odds-n-end things we did in july that we've not yet shared are: 
  • having a bonfire with our wonderful thrive group.  one of the couples in our group own a large piece of land nearby and we all got together and had a hotdog roast on the campfire.  it was great!  they even had a big treehouse, corn-hole, and dirt-bikes.  the boys loved it!  they especially loved (as always!) hanging out and playing with all the other awesome kids in the group...we could have stayed there all night!  
  
  • having our snavely "family day" - this is a day once a month that we set aside to intentionally get together as a family (to celebrate birthdays, holidays, or just because). not that we don't see them at other times throughout the months, but we started doing this a few years ago because as we all got older, our lives got more busy and so this was a day, set aside, where we could catch up, hang out and just be together.  we always look forward to them.
  
  • hanging outside and swimming.  we've gone over to friends and family's homes to play in the water and hudson and greyson love every minute of it.  definitely a favorite of theirs, especially going down the slide in to the water!
   
  • going to atwood lake, boating and swimming at the "boater's beach".  this is, by far, the boys most favorite thing to do.  hudson loves to camp out (he even spent the night with mimi and papa, all by himself), drive the boat, swim at the beach and sit around, what hudson calls the "fireplace" (aka, the campfire).  we'll certainly be making many more trips down there!
