More Pics from June and Missouri Trip




Pictures from June: Missouri

June was a happy mon



th as Zion finished 6th grade (the longest academic year EVER) and the weather turned warm and sunny. The highlight of our month was a trip to Grandma Pam's house with a stop for camping at Blue Springs Ranch along the way. We stayed overnight in an adorable, comfortable cabin as the forecast was for rain...we went fishing and creek hiking in our favorite Meramac tributary, had a campfire complete with s'mores and songs, and caught dozens of baby toads and fireflies before staying overnight in our snug little abode. The rafting trip the next morning was cancelled as, true to the forecast, it poured buckets of rain. We visited the horses and fed them marshmallows before the storm hit, then packed it up and headed to Grandma's house. Building a redneck pool in the backyard was our big project for the week...imperfect, but refreshing. We loved seeing Betsy's family and watching Zoey play softball, and then having the whole Mullings family over for brownies.
