July's Full Moon is the

Full Buck Moon because bucks begin to regrow their antlers during July.  It is also known as the Thunder Moon because of the frequency of thunderstorms during July.

Camp Clean Up

Although they had not gotten rain, it was so humid the tents needed to be dried out when they arrived "home".  It was sunny and very breezy so the tents dried quickly and the boys made quick work of putting them away.  We drove through Dairy Queen for a cold refreshing treat and then hit the road for home.  M spent most of the trip catching up on his zzzzssss.  Good thing too, because he'll be home for less than 12 hours before we drop him off at another Boy Scout camp for a couple weeks as a Counselor in Training. 

Friends: Two Legged and Four Legged

Our next stop was to visit the stable where H used to ride, first we saw T and then we brushed Sadie, who remembered H or at least the apple! 

Our Visit with the B Family

was delightful, thank you for your kind hospitality!  When I realized I had to pick M up in New Ulm after his week at camp with his old Troop I wondered if I could split up my trip and visit some friends at the same time.  So yeah, I invited my self to J's home and not just myself, but three children and not just a visit, but an overnight!  The children enjoyed their time together and J and I enjoyed our playdate too!  We are looking forward to their visit to our home, see you in August!
