An Attempt for Mel to have things to read

I thought I'd update about our busy summer, though I probably have to do it in different post. Our busy summer started out with our annual family campout in Calveras Big Tree State Park where we had a wonderful time. This is the little river we went "rafting" on. It was perfect for the girls. Even though Catherine was shivering with cold and could hardly talk, she didn't want to leave. She is our mermaid, as she has named herself. Megan had lots of fun playing in the water also, though wasn't sure about going on the tubes. When we pulled out our little boat (a toddler boat which is for the pool), she was all excited. That was more her style, to have no hole in the bottom.

Jonah was not sure about the water at first. I have to admit, it was chilly. But, when I tried to take him out of the water he fussed and only wanted back in to play. Go figure.







Megan & Grace would hang out on Grandpa's lap when they were in their pj's and didn't have to go to bed yet. They weren't allowed to walk around and get dirty (their favorite thing to do).











I can't get the pictures where I want them, so oh well. These are my bat girls. I can't wait to get caught up on my scrapbooking to do this page. The junior ranger program was on bats and they had these cool wings.
