"Much Ado About Nothing"

On Sunday, we went to Arch Park to go to a "Shakespeare in the Parks" play called, "Much Ado About Nothing". It was a comedy and romance story. So many people came to see it! It was really fun, but really hot, too. When we were leaving our driveway, it said it was 96 degrees!!

Installing the sprinkler system


Today Dad, Bennett and Preston (and Fiona!) installed a sprinkler system in the yard so the grass can get watered on a set timer. Fiona and Preston liked to be the "stompers" on the dirt!


Patting down the dirt.





Fiona the stomper!



Matilda helped too.....







The Herrigstad's visit!

 On July 15th, our friends, Dale and Karolyn Herrigstad from Anacortes came on their motorcycle and visited us. They stayed through Monday, the 18th. The first night they came, we had a hair-cutting party with my Dad and Mr. Herrigstad out in the front yard!



 After the cuts, we went up on the back porch to cool off.




The next night we had Uncle Paul over for tacos...my favorite!



On Sunday we went into Yellowstone to go to Joffee lake. We took Aunt Mauray's kayak's and and paddles. It was so much fun!!

(Preston's head is in both the pictures...)
