Time for Another UBC
If you know me, you know I live for challenges. The Ultimate Blog Challenge is hosted by Paul T. four times a year. The challenge is to post a blog each day of the challenge months. I started the UBC in January 2016 and have completed each of the challenges since then. I have been doing so many back to back blog challenges since last year and after the May UBC I went to the June Cornerstone Content Blog Challenge. I knew July was going to be a very busy month with my granddaughter visiting her brother and sister in Indiana. That gave Lia, pop and me time to have a few staycations! So I took July off from a blog challenge but now it’s time for another UBC!! Are you ready??
I’m excited to reconnect to the bloggers that have participated in the Ultimate Blog Challenge in the previous months and also looking forward to meeting some new bloggers to the awesome challenge.
As I mentioned July was a busy month, we went to Alligator Adventure and Lia loved all the animals and reptiles!
Then we visited Huntington Beach SC state park and found there are 47 state parks in South Carolina! We purchased a state park pass and our plan is to visit all the parks in the state, We went back to Huntington Beach for the second time a week later because they have so much beauty at Huntington Beach. Lia loves nature and we all had a great staycation right down the road from where we live!
It was soon time to go to the airport where we were waiting for mommy to get off the airplane and was Lia excited. She paced while watching for mommy to walk down the stairs and gave her the biggest hug.
July is also Rich and my wedding anniversary, we celebrated 54 years on July 29th. Then two days later it was Rich’s birthday. Lia wrote her Friday Story Time a happy birthday pop blog about some of the fun times they have had in her almost three years.
So now it’s on to August and wait until you see what else happened in July! Plus you may remember me mentioning that Lia’s birthday is August 23rd and she has a big announcement to make, so stay tuned for that! We had a very busy month but now it’s time for another UBC adventure.
It’s time to reunite with our “old” blogger friends and get ready to meet some new ones while we BLOG ON!!
What a busy pair you and Lia are. And what would a challenge be without you two? Fabulous photos.
We love a challenge for sure Lily!
Happy to see you back again, Martha! Looking forward to hearing all about your adventures!
Thanks Paul! I am so far behind on replying to comments!
