3 weeks of Summer and my big 1st grader

So I am having to get used to short Summers because Amy is on a year-round school calendar.

We had 3 weeks to get in as much fun as possible. So I will start with the first trip we took after she got out of school, in fact we left to go camping the day of her Kindergarten presentation (after it was over of course).

We went to a place called 12 mile. It is really beautiful and we had such a great time.

This little pond was right in our campsite. Amy loved fishing with Daddy.

She had a blast riding her 4-wheeler.

Her friend Ryan kept getting stuck in the ruts. It was so cute she would stop and run over to help push his 4-wheeler out. After a while I think he started to do it on purpose just so she would help him. It was so funny. They have been best friends since they were 18 months.Mike was the chef one night . Great hat and what a goober. He didn't smile for the first picture and I gave him a hard time so this is the smile I got for the next picture.

Amy on Ryan's bike. We forgot to bring hers so he was nice to share.

Buddies forever!

They are eating in the tent trailer because it rained one of the nights we were there.

We took the 4-wheelers up to Skyline. I didn't realize how high we would get. And yes...that is snow behind them. Crazy!

Amy and her Daddy.

We found a little stream that the kids had fun playing in. Amy loves to find walking sticks.

Mommy and Amy.

We had such a great time. I love camping with my family and friends.

One night we went "Color Me Mine" to decorate pottery. We went with a few of Amy's cousins. It was pajama night which means that if you wear your pj's you get a discount. The girls thought it was great fun and they had such fun things to decorate.

The girls with their finished products. We had to leave them there so they could be baked in the pottery ovens. Everyone's turned out so cute.

We also went to Seven Peak water park a couple times with Grandma and her cousins. Amy is a fish and can't get enough of the water.

Seven Peaks was great. I have never been there before this summer.

Amy also loved playing in the sprinklers. She likes to get out the sidewalk chalk and draw while the water is on. It makes the chalk like paint.

Nice hands. Thankfully it washes right off!

I just took these pictures one day. They are too cute to leave out. This is her favorite pose.
Here she is on her first full day of 1st grade.

Got her backpack and ready to go. I can't believe I have a 1st grader. Where does the time go?
