Historically, I'm not a camper. I love the outdoors and will hike, bike, swim and hang outdoors all day long but when it comes to bedtime I love in door plumbling and my own comfortable bed minus any bugs, snakes and possibly bears. So John was thrilled when our friends Jeanette and Mike asked us to go camping and I said yes. An added bonus was other friends, Robert, Kelly and family joined in. John is a camper. Jeanette and Mike have gone with their kids several times and had a blast....so have Robert and Kelly. I was the rookie but was up to the challenge! Until the night before when I started to have an anxiety attack. But I pressed on! In the end we had a great time and we got to go to the "Apple Picking Jubilee" which was fun and the kids are still talking about. It was an adventure for me and while I can't say I've converted to camper status I would go again based on how much fun the kids (and John!) had.

Riley's Birthday





Riley had her 9th birthday party here at the house on her actual birthday, August 2nd. We set up various things in the backyard including a waterslide, slip and slide, badminton net and a limbo set. We also had Moe's (one of Riley's favorite restaurants) cater in a taco and burrito bar. Everyone had a good time!
First Day of School




Riley and Lauren started on August 11th! Lauren was very excited to start kindergarden and so far Riley has warmed to 4th grade. They rotate classes now which she likes. Kate started pre-school on August 25th. She likes school but had to get over the fact that she wouldn't have the same teachers as last year!
