August was a fun month for us. One day as we rode bikes at one of our favorite parks, we decided to go see a student of mine who was showing her steer and lambs for 4-H:
We also loved eating our ice cream on the back patio:
Earlier in the summer, Ethan had come home from church one day and announced that we needed a tree house. He and I inspected all the trees in our yard, and decided on a nice maple tree. Ethan got his chair and a drawing board and made up the plans. He showed it to his dad, and for several weeks, Tim tried to look up tree house plans on-line. Who knew there were so many people who actually make tree houses with walls, window, roofs, and even ROOMS!?
Finally, we decided ours really only needed to have a ladder, and a platform, and of course a pulley, because that's what Ethan's plans included.
Once the tree house was done, we had nightly concerts with the kids. Kate used the "egg" rattle, and Ethan used his Africa drum. Good thing we had the crates on the ends of the pulley to get all the equipment up there!
Kate and I just like taking our picture:
