Well, today was the first day of school, so I suppose I should write about our summer. I haven't written this yet because I've had so much to day (being lazy) and had so many places to go (staying at home for the past 3 weeks.) So, let's begin the recap!
Double Baptism
The first big thing we did this summer was go to a double baptism with our 2 new baby cousins, Mae Katherine, and Joseph Lasseter. While we were there we celebrated Big Daddy's birthday (No images for the event sadly.) We had a great time meeting with family and meeting the new cousins. (The food was good too.)

(I clearly look the best here, no bias... None at all.)
Me holding little Mae. (She woke up as soon as she left my arms and then started playing with MC instead, so I suppose that means we're mortal enemies now.)
The Beach Trip
It was hot down in Florida, luckily we had the ocean water to cool us down. We had a fun time there. (As well as multiple sinus infections.)

Another family photo, with me nowhere to be seen.
A photo that my dad took of me early in the morning, you can clearly see in this image I'm the "golden child" of the family.
Me and Mary Claire woke up early in the morning to hunt for shells, we only really found one good one. All the others had been taken. (Curse you old people with nothing better to do!)
Valdosta Trip
After this point I have no more images, so just use your vast imagination to picture what I'm typing here.
Down in Valdosta it was hotter than the surface of the sun, so we mainly stayed inside. Me and David played with Andrew and Maddux (Half of said playtime with Maddux was trying to decipher what he was saying.)
Andrew, Maddux, David, and me all had a water balloon fight to cool down, it was certainly very helpful in that regard.
You can't go down to Big Daddy & Gram's without grilling! Me and Big Daddy grilled some smoked sausages, and then cooked some really good steaks! I made some nice focaccia bread to eat with them.
Mitchell Family Reunion
The last big thing of the summer was the Mitchell Family Reunion. We went down to Cleveland and met a ton of nice people on dad's side of the family. We took some big photos (It took a long time to get every person there to get in place for the picture.) There was a big buffet and a lot of speeches but overall, it was a great time.
End of Summer
After all the vacations and meeting family we came home a closed out summer with relaxing at the house. After such a great summer we inevitably had to go back to school so, I suppose I will tell all of you. It was a good first day of school for all of us.
