We are blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives.  Recently my parents visited.

sodus point photos

These are a few of my recent favorite photos of our summer in Sodus Point.  How truly blessed are we to have this incredible surrounding to share with family and friends.

cub scout adventure camp

I woke up sad today realizing that I was home and not still at Cub Scout Adventure camp.  The chants, the songs, the skits . . . all the fun with friends in the outdoors; there really isn't anything better.

Archery, shooting sports, gaga ball, swimming, boating, nature, village activities and more!  Blaise and I were in the Fort this year with Sheriff Baby Beard and Deputy Peaches.   We survived the heat and the thundering rain and I even ran in a mud run.  We can't wait for next year!

cottage

Roof, siding and windows complete . . . .more work to do but it is looking good.

construction at the cottage

Our cottage in Sodus Point will look quite different shortly.  So far we've had a new metal roof put on.  22 new windows put in . . . see the 'open air' or before pictures below.  And soon will be siding.  More to come!

strawberries

Chase Farms in Fairport is the traditional spot where we pick strawberries each summer.  The signs for photos, the tractor ride, the tasting while picking (although we didn't indulge this year - too many slugs!!!) and the pure satisfaction of picking delicious strawberries.

Then jam making and freezing to enjoy for months to come!  All around a successful trip . . . check out the last photo, my how time flies!

last day of school

Dressed to impress for Godspeed on the last day of school.  Sending off the 6th graders, quick change and enjoy some fun time with friends before leaving to start summer.  Another year in the books.
