SUMMER IS FINALLY HERE!

Carly and Jeff came up for the weekend - so glad you came for a visit!

Fortunately for us they came for fun. We usually spend Saturday working in the yard and getting all kinds of projects done, but they suggested a hike instead. We got a little bit of yard work done in the morning, and then in the afternoon headed up to Waterfall Canyon. We had a great hike. It was hot, and of course a good work-out. Bryan and I are a bit worried about being able to walk and get up and down stairs on Sunday, but we'll manage somehow. Even Sophie made it up to the trail. She has four tired legs and is beat just like the rest of us.

The canyon was very busy with lots of families and dogs all enjoying the great summer day.




Jeff decided he needed a little cooling down in the water. On the way down the trail, the kids all tried a little "skyping". Jeff, of course, is the master and was skyping almost the entire way home.




Saturday evening we enjoyed a barbecue in the backyard, even moving our old kitchen "picnic" style table and benches outside. We played games and then fired up the firepit that the kids had given us for Christmas. We sat under the stars, roasted marshmallows and told stories.

It was a great summer evening.
