A little bit o' summah time!

23 years on this earth has taught me that summer can be defined as 3 months of sun and various vacations to enjoy. Well... someone left out an important detail at my College Commencement; work doesn't pause for the sun's reappearance after far too much snow.

I miss swimming in the lake. I miss spontaneous trips. I miss leisurely reading while sunning by the pool. I miss being tan.

But, despite a summer full of 40+ hour work weeks, we've still tried to throw a little fun into our swiftly dwindling summer days of 2010...

 I experienced my very first at-home-fireworks show at the annual Peay/Mangum July 4th gathering in Boise! 
I will admit... I was slightly terrified at the thought of holding a large burning explosive device.

Parker wowed the crowd with his dance to the "strobe" firework. 
(Note: The town firestation is pictured in the right-hand side of this photo. That provided some reassurance.)

A reunion with the Bournes! Mike, we're very happy that you're in med school, however, we're not thrilled that it's located on the exact opposite end of the country from where we are. Already looking forward to the next reunion, Christmas in Idaho!
