The end of May was different this year without the end of the school year activities, but we managed to come up with some fun activities of our own. We spent a day at Nelson's going on bike rides (the younger half and moms on a paved trail to a park and the older half and dads on a trail up the canyon) and playing games, we watched a little bit more of our remodel come together, we spent a lot of nights outside in the backyard with and without friends, we found our neighbor's turtle Snappy after he'd been missing for almost a year, we helped with a service project organized by Cameron at Nate's cousin's Matt and Jeanette's house (Jeanette was dying of cancer and they had a lot of work that needed to be done--it was a great project and we were so glad we got to help), we had breakfast outside every morning and hung out in the hammocks, Nate had an unexpected appendectomy, Josh rode his bike every chance he got, Ollie played outside, and we got our first copies of Nate's book!!
