May wrap-up

May was not nearly as long as March or April seemed this year. We spent a ton of time outside, finished up school for both Eleanor and Jane (virtually, of course), and Eleanor, Jane, and I all completed a mileage challenge for the month of May with our sisters-in-law/aunties and Gaby. Eleanor finished with a grand total of 130.06 miles, Jane with 107.42, and me with 251.36. The miles included biking, walking, and running.

We hiked a lot and Eleanor found a frog.

Ben and Rosie did a lot of coloring while we did school work.

Tons of biking happened this month.

Lots of time on the trampoline occured.

We participated in a drive by birthday party.

Daddy did a lot of work on the yard with everyone "helping."

Eleanor led some field trips.

We found a snake and I was pretty horrified.

It was a great month and we were most thankful for the mild weather. I am really hoping it continues into June, even though it doesn't look like it will. Officially we are now in summer mode. We'll have to see how this goes!
