Massive Summer Update

So it has been nearly 3 months since my last update to the blog, and I think it's mostly because summer isn't blogging season. There seems to be a lot going on and it is difficult to sit and futz with pictures and blogging.

So here I sit on the first real weekend downtime that we have had in a while posting a load of pictures from our summer. It makes me think that kids today must have rich media presentations for the traditional "what I did this summer" homework.

Anyway . . . here it comes.
