It's still HOT, but summer is over...

Well, the new semester has begun and we're back in alarm-clock and early-to-bed mode. Robbie is grateful to say that this has been the most fun and refreshing summer since she was about 15 years old. Plenty of family time, reading time, and plain old rest. The congregation was overflowing last Sunday, the first everyone-is-back-for-school Sunday. What a joy and an encouragement.
Below are pictures from Robbie & Tyler's special 6-year-old trip to Nevada. We had a blast. Saw family and favorite places. We stayed at the Nugget, played in the pool, went to Donner Lake, Tahoe, Squaw Valley, Carson City Capitol and Virginia City. Between comstock mines, cannibal pioneers, COLD lakes, a tea party, starry nights and Reno's lights, we had a wonderful time. Enjoy the pix! Tyler's comment the first time she got in Lake Tahoe: "Sure is a lot colder than the Gulf!"
