Summer is finally here! On Friday afternoon, Justin picked up Jordyn and her friend Andrea for a sleepover, so that Sharon (Andreas mom) and i could go to lunch with the teachers after school. The river has really been climbing the last couple of days, and this weekend has probably been the highest that ive ever seen it!
Rocky and Phil stopped by to check out the river too, and we all went on an adventure to see how high it was on the island.
This downed tree from that spring snowstorm we had, has taken on the shape of a lance, and as Rocky models here, sits at a very emasculating level! In fact, after the storm, and the phone company cutting any trees down that were too close to the phone lines, we have several downed trees on the island that we'll have to clean up. I guess we'll be good to go for firewood though :)
Meanwhile, Jordyn and Andrea have discovered the fine art of whittling! They spent hours working at "Jordyn and Andrea's Whittling Shop", to make wooden pens and other assorted goodies. Im sure Andreas folks will be thrilled to know we armed her with a knife and let her play outside :)
Of course, Justin gave them a lecture...i mean, lesson, on safety, so they were respectful of the knife and just enjoyed carving the wood.
The girls fell asleep under their fort in the living room while watching a movie and then spent most of the next morning whittling too! After Andrea went home, Jordyn went over to Grandma and Grandpa Bruen's house for sleepover. Her cousin Mandy is there, so they should have some fun together. What a great way to kick off summer! Cheers!
