We have been busy!

I can not believe how long it has been since I have blogged. We have had an amazing summer and it is hard to believe that I have to start getting in to a routine for school soon (like tomorrow). First off we had a wonderful family reunion in Coeur d' Alene Idaho. The Quinlan family was in charge and Doneda help out. The first day we were on the river with a boat and two wave runners. Jim took me out for a ride on one and after a while he let me do it. They are so easy to use even a grandma can do it. Which Grandma Squire did! She loved it. Uncle Carr took lots of pictures of all of us out there and we did the same for him as he was out there. Even Andrew and Chandler went out and had fun. The weather was perfect that day. The picnic was catered and was delicious. The next day we gathered in the evening for the big dinner. It too was catered and we took the family pictures and had a great time.

The Squire clan is in charge for the next one in two years. We have already started planning and talking about what we want to do! We will keep you posted. Our family has grown so much and we all think it is important to keep this up so that we always have those memories. Sunday morning most everyone went home. It was lightning and thundering and pouring down rain all morning, flash floods etc. Mo and Carr and Jim and I were in our trailers instead of the hotel because we had plans to go to the "Digs". We were not sure about it but finally around noon the weather started clearing up. We spent 2 more days up there and had a great time with everyone. Tim took us all out to dinner at "The Bedroom" for pizza.

After we got home we unloaded, cleaned the trailer and got it read for Camano for crabbing. Ohhh, yum! We left after church and it took over 8 hours to get there. It should of only taken 5! We got there at 10:00 pm and leveled out the trailer and went to bed. I was so stressed out! The next morning we found out that the camp ground had no water! :-( This means no showers or toilets to use. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. We walked up to the group camp where everyone was suppose to meet that day and found out that there was no water there either. We called Uncle Carr (the man in charge) and he talked to the ranger and the pump broke so it might be Tuesday maybe Wednesday before there was water. Ha Ha. There was no water all week. We could go to another camp are to shower and haul in water if do desired. We did. On top of that ......they changed the crabbing rules. You can only crab Thursday through Monday. We were out of luck on Tuesday and Wednesday. Jim and I had to come home on Thursday. Jim had to be at work on Sat and we needed a day to unload and clean the trailer. Then we went to Idaho to bring Eli the yellow bug. I feel like we have not been home that much! WOW!

When we have been home I have been sewing and working around the house. Oh ya..... during all of this Aly and Ryan, Benson and Artie moved in! Ok! Her baby shower is this week and so far we have about 20 people who have RSVPed. We leave again for Utah on Sunday for a week. I have to be back at work the following Monday. YIKES! I am getting really anxious about my classroom and hope that everything works out.
