We hope you've been able to take in some great trips and outings over the course of the summer. We can't believe it's all coming to a close. Connor starts 4th grade September 3!
We took a trip out to Eastern Washington to enjoy some much-needed sunshine and what we like to call "flat-lining." This is mom and dad's time to think about nothing. No timelines to manage, no stress, just chillaxing the days away.
Some crazy weather—When we arrived the weather was HOT. We're talking 108° F in some instances on the drive there. We thought we'd be in for a scorcher the whole time, but the weather changed the next day. We had clouds and cooler temperatures than what we're used to, and we even had two days where we didn't get out because of rain. The winds were really rough on the water as well, so we entertained ourselves by going on hikes and taking a drive to a nearby marina for the day.
A party takes place—
One night (Friday) we had returned from a drive we took and noticed some new neighbors in the camp across from us. Two guys sitting at a picnic table with a bunch of empty beer bottles sitting among them. A little while later, one car full of college kids show up and the campsite just grew and grew. They partied all night up until the wee hours of oh, 5AM! The next morning in total, there were 7 cars that had showed up and all of them were full of students there for the last blowout before school begins. They didn't look as good as they did when they arrived the night before. (c;
Harvey the owl is seen again!—We've been coming to Lake Roosevelt now for 3 years and we've seen an owl fly near us in past trips near camp. This time, I was able to get some pictures of him and it was so cool. I had never seen an owl in the wild like this before. He's a great horned owl that we named Harvey.

Hope you were able to fit some fun into your summer!
