A couple of weeks ago Dana repainted our front door. I think it looks better on the outside versus the inside, until we can get the trim around the interior painted white as well.
The door was originally a hunter green on the exterior and a wood grain on the interior. Dana also repainted the window trim on the outside white and I think it was a huge improvement overall.
That Sunday (which would have been not this past weekend, but the weekend before), we spent the day at Dead Lake. It was a nice hot day, perfect for being in the lake. We went to a nice swimming area that was really shallow and sandy.
I think Clara was pleasantly surprised that she could touch in the area we were in.
Brynn held down the tubes on the ride back to the cabin.
Grandpa and Grandma wanted to have the girls for one last hurrah before school started, so we left them there for a few days. They had fun playing with a couple of the neighbor kids.
Meanwhile back at home I was studying up to take my unmanned aircraft pilot's test. We purchased a drone at work and I needed to be licensed to operate it commercially. Thankfully I passed on my first try. Woo hoo! Now, I just need to get the hang of actually operating the thing!
Last weekend we enjoyed a visit to Uncle John and Auntie Christel's house. The girls love to go visit there to play with the cats and swim in the pool...and, of course, to spend time with auntie and uncle. :-)
I was surprised when Clara just took off on her own in the pool and started paddling along.
Of course being the clumsy one that she is, she landed herself a big goose egg on a slip inside the house. She was getting some TLC from Grandpa and nursing it with an ice pack.
Christel has done a lot with family history and genealogy, especially for 4-H projects. Brynn has gotten interested in it as well and had a good time looking through what auntie has put together over the years.
Brynn made a little play area for the kitties.
Back home we played a game of Monopoly which I sadly lost.
