Summer update
It’s been a really busy summer around the Johnson camp. The week we spent camping in July was perhaps the best weather of the summer so far. It’s pretty much rained 90% of the time since we got back from Connecticut. But despite the weather we have still be going pretty hard.
If you visit my Flickr page, you can see some of the pictures and video taken from the week camping and from Gabi’s birthday in Connecticut. I have a few public pictures there. Most are limited to friends and family only. Add me as a contact, I’ll approve you and you can see more pictures if you are interested.
Some of the highlights from our week at Lake Pemaquid Campground were the 61 pounds of lobster we had on Wednesday. The great weather. Karaoke night with Erica and her cousins singing “Best of Both Worlds”.
We then zipped off to Gabi’s birthday party. And we returned to Maine absolutely exhausted. Frankly, I’ve not recovered since.
A week later we spent a lovely day at Pemaquid Lighthouse.
The training-wheels are off Erica’s bicycle and she is doing well with that. I really didn’t expect to have to do that until next summer. But she was popping wheelies in the driveway and that seemed like a sign that we needed to increase the challenge for her.
I’m drowning at work with all that summer in a public schools has to offer. But school will start weather I am ready or not. There is just too much to do and not enough people to do it.
Deb is also feeling the weight of work these dys too. He company is changing the backend software that runs everything and she is intimately involved with that. Looks like long hours are ahead for her.
The upcoming weekend is the only free weekend we have this month. Then you can find me at the Highland Games on Aug. 16 and Deb and Erica are going to a family birthday party wthout me.
