Happy July!

 

Happy July!

We were able to get in 2 camping trips this month, the weather wasn't amazing, but good times were still had and lots of memories made :)

We traveld to Keystone State Park to celebrate July 4th and had the best spot right on the lake. 

Although it was crazy hot, getting to jump right in the water really helped :)



We also stayed cool by visiting some of our favorite inside food spots


And of course, our camper has air conditioning ;)


We also went back to Locust Lake State Park, which we have missed the last few years as they have been doing some renovations and closed camping. We just went for a quick night, but had lots of fun and they still have their yummy ice cream :)






While Rose has been busy working this summer both with her dad and at the local pool


We have found lots of time to have fun with our favorite girl too.
Rose and I tackled all things bedazzle and have soooo many sparkily items in our home now :)



Rose and I also made it to Chick Fil A BINGO and it was soooo much fun!! Plus we got lots of free prizes, so that was good too :)



We also love going out for dinner at Rose's current favorite restaurant and enjoying fun drinks!


And we saw the new Minions movie :)


Our zucchini produced their first crops...we are going to be getting soooo many more


Rose's summer band had their concert. Rose played the saxaphone with 2nd years this summer to try out yet another instrument to add to her collection :)


We all got to spend a day with the Wagner Family. We traveled to Chester County and visited several book stores and breweries (coffee counts!). The day was lots of fun with sunshine, new books, card games, yummy food, and laughs with friends :)










And our little kitten trio is growing fast!! We get so much joy out of watching them play and getting cuddles :) They are all so loved in this family!






This has been a great summer for our family...but we saved some of the bestest memories for the end, so bring on August :)

June 2026-- 20 years of the Stillinger's :)

 There was lots to celebrate this month!!

Rose has officially complete Middle School and it's on to High School in the fall!!!

I also think it's worth celebrating that we finally tackled getting new sidewalks :) Also Rose can now use a baby bobcat ;)


Before....

After!!!!

We also celebrated Father's Day with Rose's favorite guy :)

AND we celebrated our 20th anniversary :)

We spent the day as a family having fun including this new card game Rose is obsessed with 

And a trip to the Lego store for some new kits...Rose so kindly offered to build them all ;)

Cheers to 20 years!!

This month we also got to visit with some friends

And family!

This summer Rose is employed at the local pool in their office. When she stays with her aunt she can ride her bike to the pool for work.

She also goes with her dad some days too!


But probably what we did most this month was eat yummy food!!!
Ice cream after paddle boarding

Lunch date with mom

Ice cream cake for breakfast

Dinner at Rose's favorite spot

And dinner at a favorite brewery



And our cute little kittens are really growing!
