Squeezing summer

If summer is a lemon, we have squeezed out the last drops this week and enjoyed perfect lemonade. On Tuesday we loaded up bikes and went to ride on the Hiawatha trail. It is such a fantastic trail thought the tunnels and over the trestles. Cooper and Max rode the tandem bike and Tony pulled Marcos on the tag a long. It was fun to ride through the mud and the dark. After the ride we paid homage to Tony's adolescence and had buffet at the casino. I thought it was disgusting, but the teenage boys were in heaven.

Friday my friend Valerie weasled me into taking her kids and my kids to Silverwood. I was dreading it, but it turned out to be a fairly relaxing visit, considering I was in a theme park with millions of people. Eliza was super brave and went on several roller coasters. Maxwell, Capt Caution, decided he was going to ride the Panic Plunge and loved it. Marcos most enjoyed his first taste of cotton candy. I tried hard to be like my Mom--she was a lot of fun at Silverwood and never complained.

Saturday we all met at Cam and Jill's for our annual rib fest. I can't believe this is the first time Tony has ever met the babies. They are adorable, rolling over, smiling, gurgling. I made Eliza and Max ski and their screams and wailing will probably get me turned into CPS. My parenting even horrified Cameron, which is hard to do. We had delicious pound cake and peaches for dessert and just sat around the table discussing boob jobs, homosexuality and the gospel. At risk of gushing, I must say I love being with my family.
