We had a fun summer, but as always...it flew by quickly.  Kyla was in "summer camp" for the first 9 weeks.  There was a different theme each week and she just loved it. Brent taught so we didn't go too far for the 1st month or so.  For the 4th of July, we stayed local and visited with friends here.

I finally signed her up for swimming lessons this summer. She took them at Crawfish Aquatics for two weeks in June and did great.  She said she didn't like floating on her back but showed no fear doing everything else.

We went first to Columbus and stayed with the Stokes family for a few days.  Kyla loved hanging with her cousins, Colin and Donovan.  From there, we headed to Grammy's house where she had a surprise waiting...Aunt Heather and Brent's cousin/family were down from PEI!  They drove down and got in a few days before we did.  Grace and Gavin were a lot of fun for Kyla, there was always some type of activity or game going on with them. We were off to Eighty Four after that for visits with Mimi and Pee-pap....before heading to Dayton to visit the Lehmann's.  We covered a lot of ground in short two weeks!

Brent turned 40 while we were away and his mom had a gathering for him while we were there.  The birthday highlight came when we returned home, though....he ordered the gift he's been waiting a lifetime for, an authentic Steelers jersey:)

I can't close out summer pictures without including an update on the kitten.  When I last spoke of her, Bri was just a little peanut....but she has grown so much!  And what an awesome little personality....very sweet and loving...and ornery too!  This is her and one of the Barbies.  She likes to climb into the Barbie house and will sometimes "escape" with one.  She dragged this one into the living room to chew on her hair!
