Assorted June Pics, 2013

June saw the kids finish with the 3rd and 4th grade, respectively.  Softball and baseball seasons wrapped up for the kids as well shortly after school ended.  The Allen family headed down to NC on the 12th to be there for the 15th when Uncle Derek got married.  I flew back solo on the 18th.
