June...June...June


On the banks of the Potomac River - near Aunt Amy & Uncle Mark's house.



Visiting the American Visionary Art Museum near Inner Harbor


Tall Ships came to Baltimore - from all over the world!


Ben got to steer a boat!  (Thank goodness they were stationary)


Abby steered it too!


We visited the Tall Ships with Grandma!


Looking off into the great abyss...


Close up!


Ben, the Firefighter with a chainsaw and a paper lantern.


Playing on the playground at Abby's school


Can we say over stimulation?  Let's put a few more things around Maddy


My adorable construction workers



Swimming at Dixie's

Swimming with PaPaw



This is what Maddy did while the other two swam


Goggles - she loves goggles


Swimming with Uncle Danny!


At this point it was nearly impossible to get a happy picture of all three of them.  
This is as good as it gets!


Maddy's first bath in the "antique bathtub"!  
(Ha!  It's the same tub her MaMaw bathed in when she was a baby...)




In June, we had a yard sale.  The kids had a lemonade stand and made over $30!  Not bad!

Our yard sale was the day after a HUGE storm swept through our area.  It was so bad that night that at 11pm I got Abby & Ben out of bed and we went to the basement.  Honestly, I thought a tree was going to fall on our house.  Here are a few pics of the trees, and parts of trees, that came down around us.  


I had asked Ben to stand next to the branch to show just how big it was!  


This is a tree that fell in our neighborhood.  
Two trees fell on houses in the neighborhood but luckily we were okay.
