Summer fun

So we have proven that we are very bad at keeping up with this whole blog thing, but I really want to do better. So here's a little summer photo recap. Highlights include, but are not limited to: Oregon trip, gardening, girls camp, and fishing. We had a great summer, but are really looking forward to the cooler winter.


Spencer is the greatest uncle in the world. He loves to play with the kids! Here he is playing with 3 of my sister's adorable kids. As you can see they are having a ball!! They live in Michigan now and we don't get to see them very often. Maybe someday we will live closer...


Of course my fun every summer is my flowers. They didn't do so well this summer, but here is one of my sun flowers. Anyone can call themselves a
gardener in Oregon. But the desert will show who the real gardeners are.


It wouldn't be a trip to OR without some fishing. Houston was up at 3 am ready to leave! Didn't catch anything, but the boys had a great time.


Spencer had never been to Crater Lake. So we took an afternoon by ourselves and visited. It really is a spectacular site. There is a picture of my sisters and I sitting on this same bench more then 10 yrs ago! So I thought it would be nice to get another picture on the same bench. (Also, taking pictures standing in the shade of the visitors center with the bright lake behind you is a little difficult. )

It really was a great summer. I think for me it was nice because it was the first summer I didn't have classes. We loved spending time with family, taking trips up the mountain, girls camp, and always new projects. Time goes quickly, and we are approaching fall now. (thank goodness!!) We have many more things to do. Always a good time!!
