The early days of summer....

As is typical in Indiana, we went from cool to hot overnight.

 Summer is here and so we are out and about...

We joined Emmett for a school picnic on the river.
The two E's since babies and for life.

Emmett and Mama rode bikes around downtown before getting Elias at school.

"Lady Liberty!!!!" This kid loves the monument!

Mom, look what I found!

The view from our bike ride.

Elias entered his first Mini Marathon, running 1.1 miles with his schoolmates.

Finished in 8 mins, 20 seconds!

Then he got a battle wound when trying to fight off some
bullies with his metal in the finish area. 

At school we got a little down and dirty and helped plant during Planting Day. The Kindergarteners planted sunflowers for next year's Kindergarten class. Mama and Grandma helped lead other students in weeding, mulching, and planting. 

Our green thumbs did not stop there....we also put in new raised beds in our barrel to grow veggies and herbs all summer long. 

We wished Mama a very happy Mother's Day. And got together with all the Flora Mothers.

Mama got some professional landscaping! The big old plum tree came
down to make way for a Japanese Maple.

It's Fußball season and we are back to the Indy Eleven pitch to cheer on our boys in blue. It's been a wet and not so victorious start, but at least we are having fun and rainbows appear!

Soccer dreams...

At the end of the month, Elias' Kindergarten class traveled to a local farm for a field trip to learn about where our food comes from.
