Well...this summer has flown by! Emma's been gone for most of it. She went to AZ to visit her best friends, Zoe and Karston. She called me about 2 days into her trip asking if she could extend it, so we did, by like 2 weeks! When she got back from there, she went to a high adventure summer camp for 9 days...pics to come from that. On Tues she'll be going to see her dad in TN for 2 weeks...
holy ALL summer! Following that, she'll be off to her 1st year of girls camp...um...ya, I
have a 12 year old! When did that happen? My brother Zeke had us all to his house for a Memorial day BBQ and swimming. He's great on that BBQ...YUM! We went to Thornton for the 4th like we have for the past few years. As many of you know,
I LOVE that holiday. It's my favorite. Well, this year it rained, and rained, and rained. On top of that there was a tornado warning. RAD... Well in lieu of watching fire works our great friend Lyssa invited us all to her house for eating and sparklers. I like eating, so it was ok. We love hanging out with our friends too! So, here are some pics of the summer so far.

Memorial day...love swimming on a hot day!

This is Zoe...Emma's best friend. I'm pretty sure they will be kindred spirits for all time.

This is Emma's other best friend...Karston. She says this is who she's going to marry...Ok, at least we've fought that battle! He's a great kid!
