Summer Fun

The adventures and good times just keep on comin'!  And I don't even have time to catch up!  It has been such a fun, good summer.

Going to California was AMAZING, and we will be FOREVER in debt to M and V and baby E for giving us the gift of that trip.  It will be one we treasure in our hearts forever.  A memory is a gift you never lose, so giving someone the chance to make memories with their child is something they can never really pay you back or properly thank you for.

The day after we came home from California I had the amazing privileged of singing the National Anthem at the opening ceremonies for the Relay for Life.  What an experience!  I am so thankful to Shannon for giving me that opportunity.  I dedicated the song to the people I know who have died of Cancer, and to those of my friends who are still fighting.  Being a part of Relay for Life was so incredible and I got teary-eyed on several occasions as I saw people in their purple "Survivor" t-shirts.  Their logo this year was "I Am Hope".  Those survivors ARE hope!  Hope to those still fighting, and hope to all of us who have lost a loved on to Cancer.

This summer in home school, Taiger has done a Native American unit!  I can't wait to show you pictures of his hand-made totem pole and leather wrist band!  He has written reports on different tribes and learned SO much!  Well, today we are going on a field trip to the Native American Reservation near our home.  I am so excited!  We all know how much I LOOOOVE taking pictures, so you can rest assured there will be some posted here for your viewing pleasure. :)  You're welcome.

Okay, we better hit that dusty trail if we are going to make it to Fort Hall.

What fun things do you have planned for this weekend?
