Summer activities! Catching up, and a “Little Library”.

We started out the 4th Holiday weekend with seeing Hannah and Sterling off on an adventure to RTX, (Rooster Teeth Convention) Hannah has really been working on improving her Cosplay of Yang. (Check out the chain mail)

So today I recruited the Girls and Rockwell to help Build a “Little Library” for the park out in front of the house! They really got into it! More Young Makers!

I think they were enjoying the nailgun a tad too much. That little library is built like a tank now!

I kid you not, she did not even stall it once. She asked to go to Arthur’s to ride in the woods.

Last weekend was the Pride Parade in Augusta. Wow, I was impressed with the size, and also the participants. Lots of Businesses where represented.
