s'mores fun

Well the predicted 90% chance of rain thankfully didn't happen.  We had a beautiful blue sky afternoon for celebrating LDC's 3rd in the backyard.  Pictures of all the kiddos are forth coming.

According to http://www.lovetheoutdoors.com/camping/camping_humor.htm
These are actual comments left on U. S. Forest Service registration sheets and comment cards by backpackers completing wilderness camping trips:

• “Trails need to be wider so people can walk while holding hands.”
• “Ban walking sticks in wilderness. Hikers that use walking sticks are more likely to chase animals.”
• “Trails need to be reconstructed. Please avoid building trails that go uphill.”
• “Too many bugs and leeches and spiders and spider webs. Please spray the wilderness to rid the area of these pests.”
• “Chair lifts need to be in some places so that we can get to wonderful views without having to hike to them.”
• “The coyotes made too much noise last night and kept me awake. Please eradicate these annoying animals.”
• “Reflectors need to be placed on trees every 50 feet so people can hike at night with flashlights.”
• “Need more signs to keep area pristine.”
• “The places where trails do not exist are not well marked.”
• “Too many rocks in the mountains.” 

36 and less detangling

 Some highlights from our weekend of celebrations--CMM turning the big 3 and

having fun in heels, skirts and hats.

After!

100 Booms

It was a weekend of no electrical cords or saws (which is RARE for our traditional Labor Day together)...just 100 Booms. An adventure to say the least.

busy but blessed

The month of August has been a blur.

B-u-s-y.

My camera has been clicking away but the time that I have had to post on our e-diary, has been slipping away.

Some highlights...
