August Highlights

Here is a taste of the Walker Family happenings this past month...

Como zoo...great place to go for half a day...close by, not so big, has rides too!


Our annual neighborhood party...we love our street...we have amazing neighbors!  Adeline is having a bit of fun!  Riley came along so that was an added bonus for Adeline.




Patrick and Clara with our neighbor Cole and his daughter Paige (the two girls are about 3 months apart in age).



sleepover!


We survived a terrible summer storm...all this happened very quickly and with amazing force...and Patrick was out of town!!  This was what was left on our deck...

The furniture and the grill flew across the deck and landed on the lawn.  Fortunately nothing too terrible happened.  Our screens had to be replaced, a little siding and roof damage, a new grill was needed, lost 3 smaller trees...thankful for God's provision, knowing it could've been so much worse!

the kids checking out the damage from the storm the next morning

Patrick putting the kids to work, cleaning the deck...they love this!

Addie started soccer!





coaches Dave & Chris (such great coaches!)



Grandpa and Grandpa from Iowa came up for a visit.  We spent an afternoon down in Stillwater.  It is a quaint little town on the river.  It has great eateries, and we found a great park!

We enjoyed a weekend with Auntie Leah at the Otterlei cabin!  It's a beautiful place, and Leah was the hostess with the mostess, as always!
