Cade's Cove creek fun.
Gorgeous girl
What family picnic at Cade's Cove wouldn't becomplete without remembering to feed your babydoll.
Notice in this picture that Lauren actually PACKED AND BROUGHT ALONG picnic food for her doll! She told us that she didn't want to leave her baby doll out!
Fun with bento, Asian food preparation.
VBS 2008.Lauren brought a friend, our neighbor Samanta (sitting on Lauren's right.)
This was Lauren's first VBS to sit with the other children all by herself.
She's growing up on me!

Babysitting DavidWell, you'd think that as a teacher, I'd use my summer weeks off updating Lauren's blog......wrong! We have been so busy having fun that I just didn't get around to it. After school got under way, I have been so busy on weekends that I haven't made the time, either. I thought that since I have a 4 day weekend break, I'd use this time to play "catch up!"
Our summer months were filled with swimming, VBS, fountain and picnic fun in Farragut, time with family and friends, babysitting Cousin David, boating on Douglas Lake, Uncle Wayne and Aunt Becky's wedding, a beach trip to Pawley's Island, paid portrait gigs, and more! I have added some pics for your enjoyment. I miss the golden, carefree days of summer...
