Wordless Wednesday (I never tire of these sister pics...)

Summer Vegetables

We planted tomato and zucchini plants in the spring. Here is our first harvest (although it's doubtful the plants are going to make it through 110+ weather):

First Camping Trip of the Summer

For our first camping trip of Summer 2009, we camped at Big Springs, one of our favorite campgrounds above Mammoth. Lots and lots of bugs--poor Isabelle--just like me as a child--she got eaten up!! (unfortunately we were a little too late with the bug repellent the first evening we were there)
On our first full day, we did a geocache near Lake Crowley (we were the first to find it) and then spent the afternoon fishing at Convict Lake
Our friends, the Pachecos, joined us a couple days later and we had lots of fun spending time together, doing some geocaching, and swimming at Gull Lake.

lots and lots of moths

Horse Camp

Isabelle immensely enjoyed a 4-day, all-day horse camp with her cousin, Mackenzie. On the last day, family was invited to watch everything they had learned over the course of the week.
Melina just stood there and watched.

Fishing/Geocaching Day Trip

We were blessed with some very unseasonably cool weather in June. We took advantage of that and headed to one of our favorite creeks for some fishing and then for some metal detecting/geocaching (can you guess who did what?). It was a wonderful day!

Sand Art Fun!

We did some sand art with friends the other day. Isabelle absolutely LOVED it, although it is messy with toddlers, but they enjoyed the scooping of the salt in the jars--kept them very busy!!
