**JULY**

July was pretty relaxing. It involved lots of swimming and playing...

... and also some work in the peach orchard. Halia is always dirty the instant she steps out of the car at that place!

 My sister, Amy, and I ran the Mantua Dam Run. It is a 5 mile run. It was such a fun run! Beautiful morning and perfect weather!

 Quincy was in the Mantua parade for Cheer, she did so good, cheering the whole time. It was really cute! Then we went back up that evening for the fireworks.

 So, our kids never have handled staying up late very well, this was their first time seeing BIG fireworks. Quincy LOVED them, Halia watched them through her fingers, since she had her hands over her eyes, but after said she wanted to go again.

 Ummm, Cinderella? Is that you???

Hahahaha! She walked around all evening with only one glass slipper. I guess she takes pretending to be Cinderella very seriously. :)
