July in Pictures :: Cedar Rapids, Iowa Photographer

I finally have all the pictures ready! My July in photos. And wow. Are there a lot of them. July had probably been the most eventful month in a while. Though, the most exciting part of it, and probably of my whole summer, was the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Wilsey, Kansas with my church. Recalling the fact that I took around 200 pictures, I will have to post some of them in a separate post.

Around the beginning of July, my church had a Lady's Retreat at a camp close by. Below are several of the pictures that I took while there.

* The morning we were at camp, I woke up really early so that I could get 

out and enjoy the beauty. The lighting was amazing and I just 

happened upon a bee getting nectar from the flowers.

*While at the camp, we had several wonderful worship times.

*Supper time and one of our gorgeous youth leaders.

*One of the wonderful times of fellowship.

* Breakfast and line of chairs by the pool. 

Nothing random here.

* The signs on the outhouses. I thought they were pretty cool.

*The 3rd of July Ski Show at Ellis Park.

*Impressiveness

*More awesome craziness

.

*I am so proud of myself for capturing the left photo. =) 

The guy skied off a ramp and did a flip!

*The nieces and a friend watching the skiers and blowing bubbles.

 * Early in July, some friends and family helped put on
the Granger House's annual teddy bear picnic.

* The highlight of the whole picnic was homemade ice cream!

* The kids making the ice cream and then
enjoying some teddy grahams.
