Summer fun

We continue to have a good, fun summer (except Kara who has been on the couch for the last 2+ weeks after having foot surgery - she is fine physically but has to keep her foot elevated for three full weeks). Julia has been in camp at Aaron's school, which is run very much like school will be this fall (it is soon to be Aaron and Julia's school). She has been loving it and comes home each day with stories about her teachers, her classmates and her adventures there. The picture on the left is from her first day and the one on the right is from today (it is "Spirit Week" there and today was "Crazy Hair Day"). If you could count them all, you would see that Julia had 10 separate pony tails in!

Meanwhile, Charlotte and Aaron flew down to South Carolina to celebrate Great Grandma and Great Grandpa's 60th wedding anniversary with the entire Hudson clan (the bottom photo shows the whole group). Charlotte had a great time hamming it up for everyone. She also enjoyed going to the beach, where her favorite activity was climbing into holes that Dad or Aunt Val dug and eating as much sand as possible. Here she is before a day at the beach, first in the video (the bottle on the toilet is sunscreen) and then upon arrival at the beach itself.

We hope that everyone continues to have a great summer. See you soon!
