Looking Back at June 2025

June was a busy month.  I hate saying we're always busy but it was a lot of being on the go.  Of the 4 weeks that made up most of June, Sam had swim lessons for two of those and the other two we were out of town for 3 weeknights each week.  That adds up to not a lot of being home and just chilling!  I also had my 20 year college reunion, my parents 50th anniversary, and hosted a baby shower for my niece!  Summer is a different busy than the school year but in a (mostly) fun way!

Looking back:
1 year ago: {29} Beach Picture Books
2 years ago: Things the Boys Like (maybe the last one of these I did??)
3 years ago: A Different Me After Vacation (but mostly still the same)
4 years ago: Vacation Ponderings
5 years ago: MDM: Honey Lemon Margarita (we were doing a fire in the firepit just out of shot and it gave a nice effect for these pictures)
6 years ago: Patriotic Kabobs
7 years ago:
New York City #4 - day 3 (this trip has actually come up a few times recently, I carried baby Sam in the carrier all over NYC)
8 years ago:
The Senses of Summer
9 years ago: ICOTW: Raspberry Crisp Ice Cream (this was one of my FAVORITES)
10 years ago:
Attacking the Problem Areas: Painting inside the kitchen cupboard (SO GLAD I did these) 
11 years ago: Chocolate Chip Banana Bread (this is still the only banana bread I make)
12 years ago:
A big clothing diapering post
13 years ago: Doolin to Dingle 

 

1) Fit in a few zoo trips too, red pandas are always a favorite.
2) Flowers are blooming very well so far!
3) My 20th college reunion and the first one I have attended (although I have been back to campus since).  It was fun.
4) Matt & I went down early and walked around campus, 20 years and 1 month to the day since we did that the day before I graduated.
5) At the zoo, again!  I feel like it was hot.  It's been hot most of our zoo trips.
6) Back at Jellystone, our favorite repeat spot every summer!  We love it.
7) Sunset over the lake at Jelly, we cross this on a swinging bridge to get to the "good" showers.
8) I've decided I get one frozen coke each Jellystone trip.  This was a hot day, it helped.
9) Cindy Bear, I take this picture with her at mini golf nearly every time.
10) Fit in a drive-in trip as well!  First time we had taken the boys in a few years!
11) The drive-in!  Matt & I go every year for our anniversary but fun taking the boys.  I think this was mine & Matt's 60th visit together to this one!
12) Peacock at the zoo, they are in my top 5 animals there (along with red pandas, lemurs, giraffes, and I'm still deciding on the last spot).   

Books finished: 10
Miles ran: 46.30 (June might be my favorite running month because I am in reasonable running shape but I'm not running crazy distances yet)
Currently watching: In June we were watching the new season of Welcome to Wrexham and probably some Brooklyn 99 too. 
Most read post this month: Kool-Aid Cookies and then To Work or Not to Work, That is the Question

July bring more adventuring, 4th of July (obviously past), my birthday, and, regrettably, thinking about school.  I'm not ready!!!
