I can’t believe that summer is almost over.We have been busy, of course, and aren’t quite ready for school to start again.First we had a wonderful Reeder family reunion in the Tetons and then we sent Lily off to Spain.While she was in Spain, swimming in the Mediterranean, we were at swim team and swimming in the pool everyday.Then after she got home (more on Spain later) we all went on our annual camping trip to Tahoe.Mixed in there we had girls’ camp and Alice’s birthday.Really, the pictures are going to have to tell it all for me.I don’t have Tahoe pictures yet, those are forthcoming:
The kids enjoying the cold water at Phelp's Lake in the Tetons.
Our whole family on a hike. Jane was big enough to do the hikes, but wasn't very happy about it!
Swimming at the pool everyday. Canyon had swim team and Alice and Jane 'practiced.' By the end of the summer Alice's ready for swim team and Jane's 'swimming all by myself mama!'
Sparklers on the fourth. We had a great time even though Lily was in Spain. She had plenty of Celebrating to do when Spain won the world cup. Ole!
Anyway, Lily, inadvertently, helped me with my title. Yesterday she, Canyon, and Alice were playing outside close to bedtime and I gave them the five minute warning. Immediately Lily began bargaining: "Come on, ten more minutes!" Me, "Five." Lily, "Seven." Me, "Five." Lily, "Six." Me, "Zero." Lily, "Fine, five more minutes." She left with a huff and as she SLAMMED the door, she commented under her breath, very loudly, "I can't believe I only have 300 seconds to play outside!" So that's it, all I need for this blog is 300 seconds a week (maybe more, maybe less).
