Summer Time Fun

We're into full-fledged summer activities in our house. Having already been to the beach twice, done a bonfire, visited Hoover Dam and went on a weekend getaway to Lake Mohave.

We've also had a good time entertaining the Norwegian relatives (Erik & Erik), or I should say they've been entertaining us. Here's a note my Eric and I posted on Erik's (cousin in Norway) facebook just last night:

The top 10 things Erik and Erik learned in California...

1) Only one person had a red bag on US Airways that first night
2) Hand towels are surprisingly absorbent...much better than full sized towels
3) Stingrays are not actually stepping stones
4) Sleeping on a bench in downtown San Diego is not a "cool" idea
5) Healthcare in the US isn't free!
6) Beer doesn't mix with antibiotics, but shots mix perfectly
7) The floor of the bathroom is much more comfortable than bed
8) Forty year olds are cougars too...particularly on the dance floor
9) Ducks will actually eat hurl and lung butter...
10) They suck at Sudoku

Please don't ask me to explain all of the items on this list, let's just say they all have meaning and involved a part of their "holiday" to California!

So what's up next for us? Well, Taylor and Sammie are at the local Girl Scout camp this week. And Taylor is a youth leader! Next we'll probably hit up the Lake again, maybe including a trip to Vegas as well. At the end of July we'll have our Church camp for a week - and then the countdown begins for the August fun. There's just too much going on in August to list!
