Hey

How are you? How was this week? How is the bike riding  learning coming? How is your companion healing up with his dental work? 

We got home from Lake Powell on Thursday and I think today is the first day I don’t feel like I am swaying like I am on a boat! I don’t remember it ever lasting this long but holy cow. It was a good trip. The Riddles (Chuck and big Matt) showed up one day which means Banning told them where we were which is super annoying but other than that, it was a great trip and I think everyone really had a good time. Brooklyn already wishes she was there again. It’s going to be a long year for her to wait. 

We left Friday to come to the cabin. The Millers joined us as well. The weather is perfect. Gray clouds and cooler here. I am excited that this week at home will be in the 100’s for the pool but for now it is nice here to curl up under a blanket. We went up the canyon last night and saw 2 moose and some super cute baby deers that were just born recently. I love their little spots. 

The cotton is in the air but since we have had such a rainy summer it isn’t piling up like it has in years past. It floats in the air which makes it still just annoying enough. I am glad I don’t deal with allergies let’s just say that. 

This week is full and I am looking forward to being back to some sort of routine and schedule. It is crazy how these last couple of months have been so focused on getting ready to go to Lake Powell and the preparations that had to take place and now it is done and I feel like I can finally breathe again! We have our last week of volleyball camp and then tryouts are on the 1st. For some reason right now Brooklyn is saying she doesn't want to try out. I am going to have to threaten the loss of the golf cart or something I am afraid. I don't know why. She is really good too. Maybe you could keep her in your prayers and we could collectively help her see that. :)

Anyways, it is late where you are and I have got to get some stuff going so I can get ready to head home myself. I am getting more tired by the minute and I don't want to risk driving home. I hope you have had a great week and I hope you know how much I love ya. I hope all is well and that you are happy.

Love you,

Mom
