The month of July was filled with lots of get-togethers. One of which was the annual Roberts Family Reunion. For the past few years, the event has taken place in Caseville at the park along the beach. When we got there, a few former students/Tim's relatives graciously offered to help take care of the kids, even going so far as to take them swimming for us.
Ainsley was enamored by these college girls. She couldn't wait for everyone to finish eating so she could go swimming with them. The girls took both Ainsley and Durham into the water for a good 45 minutes to an hour. Durham floated with them as Ainsley cavorted, splashed, and instructed everyone in the proper way to water a flower.

| It was such a hot day, the cool water felt great. |
 |
| Durham was hanging out with the college girls all afternoon. |
 |
| She loves the beach! |
Later, the raffle for prizes commenced. There was a bench full of kid's toys and another bench filled with adult gifts. Once Ainsley's name was drawn, she marched proudly to the bench to scrutinize the offerings. I suggested a notebook and pen. Maybe some crayons? What about a bouncy ball? No. She chose the glasses you see below.

| Really? |
Later, Durham won the "Youngest Attendee" award. We've pulled in this particular award for three years running!
 |
| Sleepy, but willing herself to stay awake for the ride home. |
Another get-together from July was one with my friend Stefanie and her daughters. Stef lives pretty far away, so we aren't able to get together too often. It's so fun when we do, as our daughters enjoy playing with one another.

| Peeking through their amazing doll house. |
 |
| They loved the hot tub! |
 |
| Playing around with her friends. |
 |
| Stef's daughters also loved to give Durham some attention. |
 |
| If you pull me... |
 |
| ...I'll pull you. |
It's been quite a busy summer. So thankful for our great friends and family!
