Summer Is A Clown Car


Hey, y'all -

How much can we fit in?

This week, we've kept Nancy and Mark and added your great-grandpa Ron, with a guest appearance by your uncle Nate.

We all took the day off yesterday and went up to Seeley Lake:









We paddled around the wetlands and saw a baby otter (who was excited to check us out) and its mama (who yelled at her baby to stay the hell away from us). We saw a blue heron (or an egret or a crane or something like that - I don't do birds). And we saw two deer (though if you'd tried to convince me they were oryxes or something, I'd have believed you because nature eludes me). Hagen spent most of the day absolutely content to float in his inner tube and talk about rocks. 
You'll notice that Laney isn't in these pictures. She's spending every day this week at theatre camp and she is NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. Not one little bit. First, we're having fun without her. Unacceptable! Also, she has been cast as a Parrot in this weekend's production of "Blackbeard The Pirate." It's the Snow Chicken situation all over again, and Laney Burbach was not made to wither away in the chorus. We've had to promise that we're all going to come cheer for her this weekend and we will no longer have fun this week before 5:00pm. 

Love,
Mom
