summer friends

Rob from last week's fun beach trip

The cat learned how to use the doggy door.  He's been caught a couple of times out in the backyard.  I wish he would just stay inside but we have to let Z have access to the outside.  Hopefully he'll never venture past our yard.

I've been working on camp stuff.  We've had quite a few surprise snafu events but we keep adjusting, and praying, and planning.  I will be glad to go and to come back and to have a successful camp behind us.

We had the Chronis' over for swimming and dinner.  It was a lot of fun visiting with them.  Ethan and Elias played basketball in the garage long after everyone else headed home.  Which I was glad about.
It's been unseasonably cool and so we adults sat around the backyard table in sweatshirts shivering while the little polar bears swam.  They did occationally have to hop in the hot tub to warm up!

Grace went with me on some errands and we found her some good sandals for summer adventures.  Now out of the blue she's been complaining about going to camp next week.  Last time she went she loved it so I am not sure what the problem is.  It's frustrating to spend hours listening to her complain.

Me and Alec with Mom and Dad, this must have been 1973-4
