August

Recap of August:

*The month started out with the girls visiting Nanna & Grandpa Rink in West Va. They worked with Nanna @ her quilt shop Acorns & Oaks

*Next, there was Shakespeare camp for the girls at Covenant Life. The middle schoolers learned and performed The Tempest. The high schoolers learned and performed Romeo & Juliet. Both girls had small parts in each of the shows. Great performances at the end of the week.

Emily playing a boy Rachel with friends afterwards.

*And then... Fair Week ~ One of our favorite weeks of the year!! waiting for the parade to start

w/ dear friends, Susan and Char after the parade.

Em had another first place cake this year that was sold in the cake auction. It was bought by my parents and my dad's 2 brothers, Uncle Johnny & Uncle Billy. :) All the money goes to 4H.
