Here is a re-cap of July and August with LOTS of pictures, and a few words, too!
For the 4th of July Aliisa, Isaac and Zack were in the Hartford parade. Aliisa and Zack square-danced on a float, and Isaac walked with some of the people he was in the play with.

Wheeeee!!!!!!The 2nd and 3rd weekends in July Ike had performances for the play he was in. He was a townsperson, and had 1 speaking line and 1 little solo. He did such a good job!! The play was amazing and soo fun to watch!
Opening scene - Rock Island
Ike is the 2nd person from the right
"But we'll give you our shirt . . . . "
"You really ought to give Iowa a try"
Harold Hill and Marcellus
Winthrop (played by a friend of ours), Marian, Amaryllis & Mrs. Paroo
"Thy banners make tyranny tremble"
THE librarian scene(Ike is the 1st guy on the left)
"If I stumbled and I busted my whatchamacallit"
Backstage - Isaac, Lincoln & two other guys from the play
The game is something like "everyone get Dad!", so Dad shut himself in the calf pen!
Trying to fight them off!
"Here comes TROUBLE" is what his shirt says, and it couldn't be more accurate!
Cousin Austin!
The result of a huge storm
Thankfully, it didn't damage anything except some flowers

One day there was a hot air balloon floating over the trees in the back
It was quite fun to watch!
The newest ride - a stroller down a hill!
Grace and Elsie were brave enough to try it!
I think they were about to run into something!Aunt Jana and her son, Austin, came home with us from our trip to Michigan and stayed with us for about 5 weeks. The beginning of August great-Grandma Johnson and Grandma Jackie came to pick them up.
Grandma Johnson - all tied up.
Grandma Jackie!
Somehow she got untied!

Thanks so much for putting the post together, Ali!! I know the time it takes!! I'm so glad to see pictures of such dear friends of mine! My only objection is, there are way TOO few pictures of you!!!
I love you, Ali!!
Hopefully we can have a reunion sometime this fall!

Oh, that picture of Aunt Jana duck taped to the bed is SOO funny!! I was laughing SOOO hard!! :) I'm glad I'm a light sleeper! :)
Also, in the second play picture, when you said Ike was second from right, at first I didn't see both guys, so I thought he was in a dress!! I was like WHOA!! Ali did NOT tell me about that!! Then I looked closer....but I still had a hysterical laugh from it!

I really enjoyed all these photos!
Dancing on a float sounds fun! I love parades.
We went to a two-week conference in CO, and on graduation night we did a ton of dancing. It was so fun! I swing-danced, and then we did the Virginia Reel a lot. We danced until midnight (literally), it was a blast. :)
