hot hot hot

In July we enjoyed 19 days of temps over 100 degrees and 9 days with temps in the upper 90's.  That's the kind of summer that makes a girl totally forget the disappointingly chilly spring.

As I see it, there are only two options on those days: get wet or stay inside.   We've played at the splash pads and public pools & waterparks:  the river, mountain lakes and our own yard and will have attended about 19 swim lessons! The boys have learned a lot and Trevor improves every time. I'm proud of his willingness to keep trying in this skill that doesn't not seem to come naturally to him. 














I had them take net because I thought we'd see so many minnows like we did last year.  Not yet. Maybe in a few weeks.

Note Trevor's not only fighting with water balloons, but also some custom, Wieber -crafted nunchucks.

There is so much to do in the summer that I'm really not wanting this to end.  Thankfully the spring and fall are also very pleasant here.

Yes another BMX video

This one was taken by the GoPro worn by Trevor who followed Joel through the BMX track.  What that you ask?  Oh, yes I am trying to recruit friends to join us out on the track some early morning.  It's good (dusty and dirty) fun.
