Labor Day at Diamond Lake

Our annual camping trip up to Diamond Lake with Tony's family. This year was awesome, great weather. We had a tea party with tiny food. We rode all 11 miles around the lake...Preston too! The same week he learned to ride his bike on his own. He also caught a rainbow trout.



August Butterfly Release

We get painted lady butterfly caterpillars every year. The kids love watching them grow fat, turn into crysalids and then hatch. This year we had four hatch, and of course, Preston got to hold one for quite a while while releasing. They just love him.

The Hills visit The Smiths

My sister and her family visited from Arizona. The kids adore each other and played non-stop for two weeks. We also got to camp at Emigrant Lake and do water slides! So fun and we miss them terribly.



Beach Trip to Brookings

We finally got to travel with Tony to Brookings, where he works overnight on the coast each week. We didn't get much time with him, but the kids & I loved the 2 days on the beach and couldn't get enough of building sandcastles and feeling the sand beneath our toes. I was in heaven.
