August was busy for us. We had two very fun birthdays. Autumn turned the magical eight and was able to get her ears pierced and get baptized. For her birthday some of her friends joined us for the only rollerskating adventure of the summer. Jill turned the nonmagical age of two and is living up to everything that two year olds claim to be. She went from a sweet angel to a screamer and a teaser.
We took two last camping trips. One to Lake Alturas, of which I got no pictures, and one to Lake Walcott where I snapped one photo of each child. Nice. We had a lot of fun at Lake Alturas and hope to make it an annual event. We had never been past Sun Valley and now that we have I think we are addicted to the beauty of that part of Idaho. Lake Walcott is great for lots and lots of bike riding, but this year it was also great for lots and lots of nats that like to attack your face so we didn't stay long the next morning but sleeping in a tent and enjoying a campfire are always fun.
Autumn is now officially a member of the LDS church. We are so proud of her for learning about baptism and choosing to enter into that covenant. We love her and she is absolutely perfect in every way.
And yes now the fun is over and it is back to work. Autumn started third grade and Brynlee started first grade and they both came home very excited and happy after there first day.
