Expected visitors and summer fun

Well it's been way too long since I updated my blog and now I finally have some free moments to do so. The summer has flown by and it's hard to believe that the kids are back in school now, which is way too early in my opinion, mainly because I grew up in Canada where the kids don't go back to school until the first tuesday in September.

It has been a busy summer, with a premature visit from my brother, Dave, and a visit from my parents, a visit that we knew about since January and were looking forward to! This is the first of an unknown number of blogs with some pictures of our summer. We took over 400 pictures, so it's hard to pick out the favorites.

Here is the first one, when Mom and Dad first arrived:
