First Day of School!

Today was Skye's first day of school. She was so excited last night that she couldn't sleep. She said she had a fun day.

Outdoor adventures

Cody took a Friday off and we had a little mini vacation. We got to go hiking (for 15 minutes until the kids got crabby and tired) and then went down and ate lunch by a lake and river. We waded across a shallow spot over to a little muddy island and tried to get Penny to swim. She didn't do too much...except shiver uncontrollably with doggy "brrrrrrr" sounds. It was fun for the rest of us though.

The next day, we took our canoe to Payson Lakes and spent some hours paddling and walking around the lake. Penny took an unexpected swim this time when she leaned a little too far over the side of the canoe to get a drink. ; ) Later that evening we got to see our good friends at the Trailer Trash Bash...from those good old days when life was so simple....
