Summer Memories

Troy and I feel like we've had a whirlwind summer. We've camped, hiked, played, traveled, visited, reunioned, explored and rocked. Now our big fear is that the kids will tramp off to school and, when asked what they did this summer, they will say they ate a lot of candy and played the Wii. So here is our summer sum-up. A brief overview of what we did in the summer of 2008 (in between bouts of eating candy and playing the Wii).



June: Camped in the rain, visited by the Tom-Gomms, Troy got a new CPAP, I got new glasses and bleached my hair white.

July: Drove to Idaho, Scout met Grandma & Grandpa Gomm for the first time, counted satellites with Tom and Kim, launched fireworks with Tyler and Anna, got 5th disease, camped at the ocean, the kids spent 2 weeks with Grandma & Grandpa Bryan, Troy and I went to Singapore.

August: Hiked with the Wallace's, Scout had her 5th birthday, I had my 33rd birthday, got back in touch with long lost high school friends, went to rock concerts, hiked around Mollala State Park, rode on a 6 car ferry, visited cousins, went to the nickel arcade, found the headquarters for Dark Horse Comics, dyed my hair purple.

It is so sad to say farewell to summer! What was the inspiration for purple hair? Fun girl! What are you going to do with all your kiddos in school now? Hard to believe Scout's in Kindergarten! She's adorable!

Katherine has orange hair right now. She loves college because the administrators don't care about hair color.
