Hello again, friends! This is going to be a long and picture-covered post...hope you don't mind! When I was finished putting this post together I scrolled through and realized that this could be like four or five separate blog posts! But instead of deleting all the pictures and starting over, I thought you all might enjoy one loooong photo collage of our multifarious days of July. (cool word...simple meaning :)
