Here's the "before" picture taken in front of our house as the boys and their leaders were getting ready to leave for scout camp. Shane is the Scout Master and is such a great leader and example to the young men. He loves scouting and learned all his tricks from another great scouter - his dad. Thanks for being such a great example Lonny!
One of the things we love most about summer is having a garden. I wouldn't say that we are avid gardeners who spend hours a day digging in the dirt, but the reward of delicious home grown vegetable is motivation enough for us to water regularly and pull the occasional weed. This year we planted a couple of new things including corn, broccoli, and asparagus (which takes two years). Here's to a bountiful harvest!
Shane has logged over 300 miles on his road bike since he got it last month and I've been feeling a bit jealous. I don't know if I'll ever be the road bike type, but I fell in love with this little cruiser the moment I saw it. I've only had it a week, but I've already put it to good use riding back and forth to the library and along the bike paths near our home. I think everyone should get a bike - it makes you feel like a kid again!
Thanks for a great ride...boy are my legs sore!
Last Friday we drove to Starved Rock State Park to do a little camping. It was great being in the great outdoors, sleeping with the wild animals, waking up to woodpeckers at 3am, eating gourmet dutch oven cooking, and making s'mores over the campfire! We're looking forward to our next trip!
