As some of you know, we traveled a lot this summer. David and I went to Israel, by ourselves, for 10 days. Someday I might get around to putting up pictures from that amazing trip. 2 days after getting home, we started off on a whole-family adventure across the United States. We went first to Indiana, then to Montana, via Michigan, Missouri and Colorado (I know--they're not even close to each other). We spent 3 1/2 weeks at the cabin in Montana, and then returned to New Jersey via Indiana and Michigan. Along the way, my amazing husband defended his dissertation, earning the title "Dr." Pretty awesome.
Needless to say, while at the cabin, we spent a lot of time in the lake.
We also did some al fresco art on the deck. This was one of my favorite activities. We would go and find pinecones and other objects and bring them back and draw them. So cool.
Hope gained a lot of mobility at the cabin. She started crawling, and while she was not pulling up herself, she could hang on if you put her somewhere. She loved watching the kids from the deck. They'd jump in the water and yell her name, and she'd yell back at them.
The big kids all took turns tubing. After Carver, Laura was by far the most adventurous, until she got bounced around a little too much. After that, it was only slow for her.
Home sweet home.
And Carver caught his first fish! Montana is nobody's fool, and if you're not a resident, they charge you an arm and a leg for a fishing license. That was, by far, the most gourmet fish we'd ever eaten. Too bad Carver thought it was gross.
So there's a pictoral fly-by. Hope update coming next!
