Week of July 9th...

 Lexi got 1st place in her age group diving team.

 We went on a hike with the girls and got our feet wet and packed a little lunch.

 Saw some giant Sunflowers and big bumble bees.

 We went into a country hardware store and saw this working, old Coca Cola bottle machine. I haven't seen one of these in years.  It reminded me of dad's gas station in Gary.

At the Botanical Gardens the girls got to see and experience putting their finger into a Venus Flytrap. They bought one to bring home too.  They're pretty cool plants.  We saw some other really interesting plants.
