July Overview

We had a busy month!

David and Laney on the 4th of July.

We watched the Bexley 4th of July parade from a friend's house. Eliana's friend Sam was on a float in the parade for the swim team he is part of!

We ended the day with a trip to the playground

Some days Laney thinks she doesn't need a nap.  But then she passes out playing with her phone haha!

One day a week we watched Eliana's friend Adele. We went on a hike at a metro park and were looking for fossils.

BFFs

Hiking by the river.

We went on a very rainy wet Retzner Family camping trip to Clifty Falls State Park in Indiana. Laney and Hannah are enjoying the puddles.

Eliana brought her bike to show off how she learned to ride without training wheels this summer!  When Eliana was learning, she rode up and down our street over and over. While she was riding and I was running next to her, her younger siblings would chase after on foot while cheering "You're doing it Eliana! You're doing it!" It was so sweet!

Trying to stay dry while camping.

Back in Columbus - our favorite bee at Fancyburg Park. As seen here and here


A trip to the zoo. We are riding the dinosaur boat ride, which is much easier this summer because Laney can walk. Nonwalkers are not allowed on the boat, so last summer we could only go on the ride when David went to the zoo with us. This summer we can do it whenever we want!

T-rex at the zoo!

Will wanted to spend his birthday money on dino toys from the zoo. I'm a sucker and agreed to get everyone a dinosaur toy. (Laney has a baby triceratops in her lap you can't see).
Look at my big guy!


Eliana loves to pick flowers and then put them together in a new creation. She made this one for me.

Ice cream time


Eliana had her friend Violet over for a sleepover!  Will got booted to sleeping in my room, which he didn't mind in the least.

Eliana did a week of art camp where she made this shirt, among many other crafts. She had a blast!

A trip to COSI with Adele.

Checking out the doctor's office at COSI



And of course we spent lots of time at the pool!
