Day 14: We had a little cookout and Ryder got to hang out with his 10 month old cousin.

21 Days of Summer

Since we are now in waning days of summer, I have concocted a plan called the 21 Days of Summer. For the next 21 days, until we go back to school, each day Janda, Ryder and I will do one thing in honor of summer.  We all must do it together and we cannot repeat any activity.  They don't all have to be outdoor activities, but they have to be something will be less likely to happen during the school year.  Some activities will be big events and some will take 5 minutes- but each day we'll do one together and savor the lingering moments of summer.
