Founders Park Concert

Amber got to play in a mini concert today. She did very well!

Visions of our Future Leaders

Obviously we are in good hands...
(ah, twelve year olds.)

Nathan's Birthday

A bunch of crazy 12 year olds makes for an interesting evening!

Park 5

They added a butterfly house recently. Very nice!

Sunday in the Park

We had a nice visit to the flower gardens at Nathaniel Greene Park
this evening. Hard to believe that this is July weather!

And the Winner is...

You know it must be a good summer when Dave lets me win twice in one
week! 6-3 on Wed and 8-6 on Fri. I just hope he doesn't get his racket
re-strung (or find out that I snipped it in the first place - just
kidding!).

Ben the Biker

Ben tried out the local bmx track with the scouts this week. He thought it was great fun.

Bike Ride

We enjoyed a little bike ride this evening after family time. The
geese were a little protective of these benches, but we discovered
that boys can scare them off with a bark just as well as dogs can.
Hannah is sporting a new look having finally lost her front tooth this
evening.

Grandmama

Jennifer Adams Weaver passed away on Sunday, July 5th at about 6am central time. In my decidedly biased opinion she was the model of a grandmother. Always loving and accepting no matter what shenanigans her kids, grandkids, or great grandkids got into. Here are a few pictures from the gathering in her honor from the time of her interment on the 7th of July beside her husband, Hugh. Her remaining five children were together again for the first time in many years.

Homeward bound

Nathan for one is ready to sleep in his own comfy bed. The rest of us
are ready for Nathan to shower in his own comfy (and bug free) shower!

Good morning!

We found this guy in our tent this morning. We think he was helping
us bold the flaps shut.

One last free time

Everyone got their last two hours of free time today. Nathan and
Tristan whipped their dads in rifle shooting to earn some ice creams.

Made It!

Today was the day to finish up the incomplete badge skills. Brandon
had to get his 'hockey stop' skill done. He had been trying for three
days. After 30 minutes we walked up to find this:

High Nutrition

As you might tell from this picture, we have enjoyed our unlimited
cereal mornings.

Cool Down Time!

We generated quite a buzz this afternoon when we unveiled this little
setup. We may end up renting the tent out for parties or something.

Crawlies

We found this guy wandering around last night. That's a quarter we put
down for scale.
Nathan made it to the archery top 10, but lost it from there. He was
very proud for a first year to make it that far.

Doin' Fine

Brandon even took seconds at breakfast today! We were the most excited
that he finally had a shower...
