On one of our daily trips to Alpine. We’re caring for a friend’s pets while she’s on vacation. It’s not really a hardship when we get to see views like this.

Dinner at Smash Burger with Papa and Gramma. Those were some very good burgers, but my favorite part was the vegetable frites. The asparagus was just delish.

July 18, 2010

Our water heater is broken so the kids and I have been showering at Papa and Gramma’s house. Tonight Owen waited outside in his towel for Mitch to show up with clean jammies and we watched a beautiful sunset together.

The lavender is in bloom. The bees love it and so do we! This was the best close up image I could get- to make it sharper I would need a macro lens (someday…)

Mia is working toward her ultimate dream- owning a dog of her very own.

A corgi dog, specifically.

If she meets her goal she can get her puppy sometime next summer. In the meantime she is doing tons of research on owning dogs. She checked out a stack of dog related reading material at the library and is taking notes and making lots of lists (her favorite passtime.)

June 29, 2010

Mia and Erica love running the Snack Shack… they make a pretty good little income.

June 28, 2010

This is Owen’s summer of becoming an adventurer. One of his new favorites- climbing trees!
