You know Kara that I mention all the time in my blog ????? Well ...... she is MOVING!!!! Leaving me! Taking her two cute kids and hubby and moving back up North. Her husband is relocating for a new job and this is a good opportunity for them to move close to family so they are gone! I completely understand their situation, but come on! We had a good thing going! They have been gone since July 3rd and let's just say I'm still trying to re-adjust to my Kara-less world.
We did manage to get one last girls day in before she left. We took Jo Jo's (Joanna) jeep out to lunch (sushi-YUM) and then had ice cream in downtown Knoxville. I know, we are a wild and crazy bunch!

In other less depressing news, we all headed to SC for the 4th of July. We had a great time as usual and the kids showed us they have no fear of the water.

In the middle of July we all headed to SC to meet with my family for a week at the Isle of Palms.
Jill found a bag of Peanut Butter Crunch and went to town with it. You would think she eats it all the time at home, but that was her first time.A video of her hoarding the bag.
Then she decides to dump the bag! Augh!

Rick's deck project. He is working on the 2nd layer of deck now.
Since Kara left, we have started hanging out on "deck beach" . "Driveway beach" is not the same with out Kara, Kate and Andrew.
The good news is...... it is water, not pee, weighing Zack down.
Which bucket head is that?
ZACK!
Drew being Drew. He is a funny, strange boy!
