Rachel's summertime

 Mara, Vanessa, and Rachel, in Vanessa's backyard (yes, she has an amazing backyard!).  One of my favorite things about Florida is the way the sky looks -- it is usually breathtaking.

 More yogurt!  Saying good bye to Mara before she moved.  Sad day.

 Rachel loves finding treasures at Goodwill on the 50%-off-clothes day.  After she found this strapless formal, we bought matching fabric at the fabric store, and Rachel sewed on these sleeves.  Now it is her Beauty and the Beast dress, for the ward trunk or treat.
