Summer update with pictures

If I had to give this summer a title, I would call it "The Summer of Change". Things have been painted, renovated, moved, and changed all around the Kendrick household. I have loved getting things crossed off my to-do list before we head back to our full school schedule. Here are some pictures to enjoy from our summer of change.
 We took out our old and broken swing set from the back yard and bought a used trampoline which has been a big hit for all 4 of the kiddos.
 We took a field trip to the Niabi Zoo. Here we are enjoying a train ride.
 We are hand feeding birds at the zoo.
 Shayna smashed her pinkie. Thankfully it was not broken, but the smash took a month to completely heal!
 We took a trip to Wisconsin to visit friends and family. Here Isabella and Micayla are enjoying the water park at our hotel.
 We had such a good time with our cousins, a definite highlight to our summer!
 We tore down our old rotten shed and put up a nice new one that holds all our toys and isn't falling into our neighbors fence anymore.
 We changed to color of our living room. We went from a gold to a beautiful blue. The kids tried their hand at being my painting assistant and where very surprised at how hard it was :)
 We had quite the hot weather stretch so we pulled out the slip and slide that even Isabella enjoyed.
 Liberty found a new friend. What summer is complete without finding a caterpillar?
 Levi is loving the cherries, can you tell? They have been SO yummy!!
 Our big project was painting our house. Our old paint had been peeling off in huge pieces, so we are so excited to have a house we can be proud of again.
Isabella is a big fan of corn on the cob. Of course being from Iowa, what do you expect?

We pray that you all had a fun summer too. We will soon be making our transition into our full time school schedule which will be an adventure with a 5th grader, 4th grader, and 1st grader (with a soon to be 2 year old in the mix)! But I wouldn't have it any other way! 
God's blessings on you and yours!!
