Long time, no blog...

(Ya, ya, bad me. So sorry.)
So, Happy 5th of July. Yesterday was a very action-packed and fun-filled day. Since we're in between two sub-divisions, we went to 2 block parties. The first with inflatable slides and tons of food, the second with sparklers and scooters and more food, ending with fireworks, in the cul-de-sac.

I didn't get a lot of photos, Ethan was running around far too much, so we just socialized with the neighbors.

I never did post a picture from Ethan's Tiger Scout camping trip in late May. He is now a Wolf, but they pretty much take the summer off and don't do much. This was at the camping trip where he "bridged over" from Tiger to Wolf. First they had to put up the tent...

then when he graduated, he had to go across the rope bridge.

It was all pretty exciting for him. The night ended with s'mores, a night hike and an astronomy lesson. The weather was perfect, which can be hit or miss around here.

My second installment of "Sleeping Jake" follows...

Now, this looks like I caught him in a stretch, right? Well, his is just one of the many ways he sprawls out when he takes a snooze.

That's about all for now. OK, Jude, I updated. Now where are the pictures of the safari??? We had a deal, right?
