Nice dive, Margaret!

Time for a hike!

This was before Caroline developed a random, terrible, burning rash and ran screaming through the woods like a banshee.

S'mores in the summertime? Why not?

Hitting up the outlet mall is an annual affair.

June Picture Post

Caroline and Jasper went to get their ears pierced together.

They were both so excited!

Isabel enjoying the lazy days of summer.

With summer comes the beginning of the CCV swim season. All three girls swam as Mites this year.

Margaret releasing ladybugs into our garden to try and save our bean plants from aphids.

We still swam at NOVA this summer. Julia was excited to start using her swim bag!

Margaret's unicorn riding buddy.

If it's summer, it's time to eat watermelon!

We celebrated Paul's 38th birthday this month at our annual Hepper Family BBQ.

Lookin' good, birthday boy!

Loving the zip line!

CCV means lots of time with friends!

And  a few nerves from Margaret. Despite being anxious at the swim meets, Margaret had an awesome swim season!

Julia did as well!

Look at these 7 year olds! Cuties!

In June, we collected school supplies for St. Andrews School.

Julia wound up in the ER at the end of the month. Curiosity lead to this getting stuck on her finger...

It wasn't long before she was all smiles again!
