Summertime…

The 3 or so months we spent as kids swimming, playing hide-and-seek, hanging out with friends, having sleep-overs, staying up late…those were the days.  When the furthest we went was a car trip to grandpa and grandmas house or a week at Scout camp.  By the 2nd month we were bored, by the 3rd month mom was ready for us to go back to school.   These days we still play hide and seek, sleep over and stay up late (ok so the kids do, I’m done by 9pm) and do Scout camp.  But road trips have taken on a whole new meaning…we go farther, and head somewhere really memorable.

Spectacular. Amazing.  Beautiful. Peaceful.  WOW.

I hope you are enjoying your summer, I know we are.   And I’m pretty sure we’ll NEVER be ready for it to end!

A Festive Fourth!!!

We spent the 4th in Historic  Columbia  in California’s Gold Country.  The towns festivities included a parade, pie eating contests, gold panning and lots of other fun activities.  The highlight of the day was the parade!    My favorite entry was this miner and his four-legged companion:

Now isn’t THAT the CUTEST ‘lil donkey you have EVER seen?!  How sweet she looks with all her flags, scarf and bows!

And these gals just made me want to put on my bloomers and get out there and DANCE with them!!!

They were having so much FUN!!!

I hope your holiday was as happy as ours, and that you took a few moments of the day to reflect on how lucky we are to live in a country known for celebrating it’s own birthday in such grand style!

Happy 4th to all!
