August: Solar Eclipse and other adventures

Wherein we drove to SC to watch the solar eclipse, and flew a ginormous octopus kite on the beach. We went to TWO owl releases at sunset, flew a kite on a mountaintop, and enjoyed an increase in hummingbird visitors.  The man cub got a new haircut for a new school. We had a lot of laughs watching the first annual Cardboard Regatta! And we had a back to school bonfire.

 

Full on Fabulous July

Here's to July.  To more games, and sleepovers, and rainy day cinema.  To box forts and blanket forts.  To the hand line dropped off the dock after dinner.  To finding the set of my favorite childhood tv show.  To hammocks and Harpers Ferry.  To sun gold tomatoes picked fresh from the garden.  To garden hose shenanigans and a trip to the Stabler Leadbeater Apothecary, where we learned about unicorn horn and dragon's blood.  We made it out to the Sunflower fields and basked in the beauty.
