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)

Oh, the day before Hannah left for RTX, she was interviewed as the “Fox 54 Kid of the week”!

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.
