We love to babysit Miles. We babysat last Friday and I thought you should see how much fun he is to play with:
He was also very creative with his empty toy boxes.
Miles, you can call us anytime to come play.
Has Facebook replaced blogging? Have people stopped posting on their blogs because they're using Facebook? I promised myself I would try to create a new blog post every day this summer. I think I blogged 2 or 3 times all summer. I really did have a lot to say, but just never seemed to have the time. It was a very busy summer, and it definitely is a lot less time consuming to add a brief status update on Facebook. Add a couple of photos and their's your blog post.
Back in July, we went on our annual Book Club camping trip. We had the group site at Camp Timpanooke. I personally think it was our best trip yet and our best site yet.
The bittersweet part of the weekend is the fact that 4 days later our friend Edie passed away after battling with cancer. We were all fortunate to have been able to spend that time with her.
As usual, there was outstanding food at every meal, lots of smore's, fun card games, hiking and much laughter. It's fun to see how much the kids have grown from year to year. And let's not forget about the super soakers. I was totally outgunned by 4 year old Tabitha (Thanks Tabs!)
We were joined this year by our newest member Renee and her family. They were a great addition to the group. Oh, and we were also joined by Wes' little Creepy Doll.
Next year is the 10th Anniversary of Camp Book Club. We are planning an extended weekend and hopefully will be traveling to the Tetons.
Theo and his s'more
All the kids, plus Creepy Doll
Creepy Doll being bad.
A few weeks ago, Brad and Maeve asked if we would take Miles on an adventure. Since it was rainy that morning, we decided to take him to the Main Library.
A couple of weeks ago, we bought a toy lawn mower for Miles. He seems to really enjoy mowing the sidewalk and driveway. Maeve said he especially enjoys mowing the neighbors driveway. He certainly looks like he takes his mowing very seriously.
Now, I just need to learn how to take photographs without all the background "stuff".
The day we stopped by, Brad was busy painting the exterior of his house and I managed to capture everything he had moved into the driveway.
We spent last weekend at Snowbird enjoying the Rock and Blues Festival. It was a great time. Heard lots of good music, saw an air guitar competition, did some hiking and just generally had a lot of fun. Oh, and Rich and I celebrated our 39th anniversary!
