Well, we have been traveling like crazy around here. Eric went to Colorado for a while with his friends, and then the girls and I took off to Minnesota to see my family. Now we are at home for another couple of days before heading off to Seattle, Duluth, and Camp Flaming Pine. Hopefully, August will slow down for us some. In our “spare time” we have taken up boating with Papa Dondi and Grandma Julie. It sure has been fun. I learned how to water ski, and Hadley has enjoyed tubing. She has requested to learn to ski, but we thought she might be a little too small yet, so maybe next summer. Hadley did however, feel comfortable enough with her knowledge of skiing to yell to me to “bend your legs a little bit” as I was skiing. When we have a bit of time, Eric will have to post some of the video he took.

We have hardly sat still this summer yet, so we are still enjoying our pool passes and all the activities that go along with summertime. Our garden is doing wonderful and we have had lots of green beans. Hadley prefers to eat them right off the plant without washing them or cooking them first. To each his (or her) own.
