Not a great picture, but unfortunately the best of the two I managed to take today. The girls were video chatting with their grandparents, as we do just about every Sunday.

Day 180: Garage Sale for a Good Cause
June 29
Two years ago Vicki & I worked to help her class raise money to go to Outdoor School. Now it's Lexi's turn.
Day 178: Back to Wild Waves
June 27
We returned to Wild Waves and after a few turns on the rides, we hit the waterslides before heading back home. Definitely a trip to remember, and a great way to end our journey together. I'll miss these amazing girls!
Day 177: Seattle
June 26
We spent today touring Seattle, both above and below. We did the Underground Tour (which I highly recommend), a Duckboat tour, and we rode to the top of the Space Needle. We also had an adventure in the world's weirdest McDonald's. Another great day!
Day 176: The Disk"o"
June 25
We took Vicki's Girl Scout troop on their last hurrah - a three-day trip to the Seattle area. Our first stop was the Wild Waves amusement park, where we enjoyed some rides before the rain hit, drenching the unfortunate group of girls who were stuck on the roller coaster. The rest of the afternoon and evening was spent swimming in the hotel pool, eating a huge buffet dinner, and playing laser tag. I'd say it was a pretty successful first day.
Day 175: YoCream Date
June 24
Lexi had a gift card, and today seemed like the perfect day to use it.

Day 174: Beauty All Around
June 23
We spent the day at Three Pools. If the weather had been better, it would have been a great swimming hole, but it rained pretty much the whole day. We still had a great time bonding under the sunshade while it rained and skipping stones when the rain stopped.
Day 173: Gerald and Piggy!
June 22
Ellie scored on the Elephant and Piggy books at the library today. And she read half of them to me while we waited for her sisters to choose their books.
Day 172: Silly on the Swings
June 21
I know it's a little blurry, but I think this picture captures Ellie's personality pretty well.
Day 171: I Can Do Hard Things
June 20
Yet another running picture! Today I ran three intervals of five minutes each, with three-minute walks in between. Four weeks ago it was a huge challenge to run for even one minute at a time, so being able to do this is a big deal to me.
Day 169: Swimmer
June 18
This will probably be Lexi's last year of swimming lessons. I've been so impressed with her hard work this summer! She's basically been swimming laps for a half hour straight each morning.
Day 168: A Sign
June 17
I've been doing the Couch to 5K running program, and this evening, even though I ran for longer than I've run in a long, long time (and the first time I've done it without being forced!), I was shocked to discover that I could have kept going. When I came around the corner to my house, I saw this rainbow, and it felt a little bit like God was telling me how proud He is of me.

Day 167: Charburgers
June 16
I grilled burgers this evening, and our neighbor asked if we needed her to call 911.
