July was an eventful month for our family. Aside from the July 4th and 24th holidays, my brother Mike returned from his two year mission in South Carolina, we celebrated several birthdays, had numerous bbq's, and did the usual summer stuff which included swimming lessons, bike rides, trips to the aquarium and sleeping in (well, a little bit anyway)...
It had been over 4 years since James and Mike had seen each other. James was serving in Iraq when Mike left for South Carolina.

Summertime fun...
(Can you tell she has two overprotective parents?)
The aquarium... 
(Notice the frizzy hair...We thank the daily chlorine bath for her mop in the summer)
Swimming lessons

Girls Camp
Other than the $7000 of damage done to my car (don't ask...it's still a sore spot for me), girls camp was a success. Great times and spiritual experiences were had by all. However, I can't mention positive things about the food, camp ground, weather, leaky tent, popped air mattress and cow pies everywhere. Where's the Fairmont Kea Lani when you need it?
