We went camping last weekend and it was so fun to get out of the heat and away from the (mild) bustle of town. It's Frontier Days this week so traffic is double (which means it takes me 15 minutes to get home instead of just 7, plus we hadn't been camping since June's lake trip so off we went. On a recommendation from a very trusted source (sis and bro-in-law), we headed to campground high up in the Snowy's and it was lovely. We managed to secure the last camping spot and we had a great time. We hiked and fished and cooked stuff over a fire. We also came close to freezing because we (okay, I) foolishly didn't pay attention to what we might need for camping at 9000 feet. We had just about everything we needed except for a jacket for me and one more sleeping bag for the camper. But we made it home without losing any fingers or toes so yeah!

| Sunday morning breakfast. Reina says "look mom, I'm drinking coffee!" She looks pretty natural, huh? |
 |
| Not coffee, just milk. Because the last thing Reina needs is a big jolt of caffeine. Okay, that's really the last thing the rest of us need is for Reina to have a big jolt of caffeine. She might feel differently. |

| So the adventures in learning how to ride a bike continue. Will is sooooooo close. Glenn let go of the seat a few times. And then Will would veer dangerously horizontal to the ground. But he's getting there. |

| I don't know that we'll have too many more summers of the green John Deere truck. Both kids are getting so big and the truck seems to be shrinking. Whimper. |
It's mid-July already and summer is slipping away. We will try to squeeze all of the fun that we can out of this last month and a few weeks.
