finally

"some people walk in the rain; others just get wet"

monsoons are here......finally.

heaven!

we went on a little adventure in the woods with brody!

got out of the 116 degree weather

and up in the trees.....

where it thundered and rained...

sweatshirts were worn...

all things were magnifed...

hot dogs were roasted...

little hands fished...

big boys fished too

good times had by all.

"we no longer camp as for a night, but have settled down on earth and forgotten heaven"

when the livin' is easy...............

summer months around here are busy

but good times

iced coffee becomes a necessity
a ride through the desert when cassie and kyle were here

have you heard the saying "where the hell is tortilla flats?"

and how we tolerate the temperatures!
