The kids are all on summer break and it's been super busy so far! We've got family visiting from out of town, we're getting ready to move overseas (back to Asia, but to a new place) next month, and we're trying to spend some time with friends (and family). We're going camping tomorrow for a few days and then riding horses later in the week. The kids have had 3 horseback riding lessons so far and LOVE it! It's normally super expensive but the place they go to is affordable (and a huge blessing!). We are so thankful and incredibly blessed to live in a beautiful place with rivers, the ocean (beaches), redwoods, and so much close by. We went to the Oregon Caves last week; a place we wanted to go to before we move. It was really good and took an hour and a half to get through. Below are some pictures of a few things from the last week or two. Last summer I worked through some recipes from the UK and really enjoyed it. I'm not sure if I'll have time to work on something like that this summer since we're moving. However, my oldest son (12 years old) has been in the kitchen lately cooking up a soup and a few other things. He finds things he wants to cook, writes down a list of things to get at the store and then cooks. It's great to see him in the kitchen (and my other 2 kids too!).
