Sunflower Yoga

Willow is always willing to join me in whatever I ask her! She joined me for sunflower yoga for the 2nd year and I'm so grateful! It's always so beautiful and is always great to be outside in the fresh fall air!

Puppy Yoga

Willow and I couldn't resist the idea of husky puppy yoga! The puppies varied from being playful and running around to crashing out and sleeping. They were adorable and were a fun companion to cuddle...with a side of a little yoga. 

Sunflower Yoga

Willow joined me for Sunflower Yoga this year. Last year she ended up having a soccer game so I asked a friend. It was perfect weather and this year the obnoxious flying contraptions didn't show up until we were practically done (last year they flew around the whole session, making it hard to hear and not as relaxing).

The flowers are more peaceful without this sound: 

Here's a picture that the company posted. I spotted Willow and me taking in the views!

Other Summer Fun (Goat Yoga, new hair, Shannons, bowling)

I had the opportunity to try Goat Yoga with a couple friends! It was....interesting! :) I'm happy to report that I walked away without my yoga mat being pooped on, so we'll call that a success!

 Whiskers enjoys being in Willow's bed but she won't let her sleep with her overnight. Meanwhile Owen's heart bursts with joy when she comes in his bed :)

Bound and determined to have them confident in cooking before they leave the house!

Owen attended the library's summer reading program kickoff with a friend.

Owen is still attending a weekly ninja class. It's good exercise for him!

Sometimes they have "extra" things, like this Spiderman inflatable!

Willow had a trim but asked for her to curl her hair. Her face looked like she was on Cloud 9!

Her purple has faded out but you catch glimpses of her bleached hair underneath every once in a while. 

We brought out some "trail magic" for the Appalachian Trail thru-hikers one weekend. It was the end of the peak season for our area but we did see a handful and they were grateful! They were all super kind and interesting to talk with on their brief stop with us. It'd be fun to do again!

Owen took advantage of summertime to try out a mohawk. The guys tried to scare me when he came down half-shaved... I love his genuine joy in this picture though!

We enjoyed free summer bowling this summer. Gramps and Gramma joined us!

A bike ride for ice cream with a friend!

We joined Hannah and Hunter at the pool while Willow was on her mission trip. 

Summertime is for icecream!!

We enjoyed a day with the Shannons before they started packing for their move to the west coast. Owen was happy to have Scott join him on the Wii!

We took a hike with their dogs, who loved jumping in the river to cool off!

 

Owen is losing a lot of teeth lately!

He even lost one at a cousin sleepover at Nana and Grandpa's!

We're beyond grateful for our "older" BFFs. They've been such a blessing to us, between my Grow Group with Connie, nursery with Joe, Chris working with Joe for a bit, aaaaaand inviting us to share their box seats to the baseball game!
