Our summer...

Aaron's last regular season baseball game was last night. His team won. He started as catcher and finished as pitcher. His team was 11-7 for the season. They ended in 3rd place!!!!!!
He has been invited to go to state with the Arvada team, as a pitcher. He is very excited. That tournament will be in Pueblo.
Emily has a game tonight and another tomorrow night. Her team is 5-3 so far. She has been catcher and playing infield positions.
Aadam and I celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary last week.
We are having a great summer. We planted a garden. We enjoy relaxing at home when we don't have a game or practice (which isn't very often ;).
We did have a sad time last week. Misty, our cat, went into kidney failure. Aaron and I took her to the vet for the last time. She was 16 years old. Her sister, Breezy, seems to be doing fine.

Outdoor Lab summer week

Aaron is sitting in a belly boat. He took a picture of his feet.
This is Jackson Pond. He spent a lot of time at this pond during the week.
Bunk house
Aaron and Dean demonstrated how to perform a water sample test.

Aaron had the opportunity to attend Outdoor Lab for an extra week, in June. He took the Aquatic Biology class for the week. We were able to go up to Mt. Evans on that Friday to see what they had learned during the week. Aaron said this week was better than the first week. He got to tent camp one night. He studied fish, water sheds, and learned to tie flies.
