Ahhh... summer!

Oh my it is SO nice to be on vacation ALL summer :) The weather FINALLY cooperated today and it was just a perfect day. Gwen took Sherlock and me climbing and we had a blast!
Here's me getting read to "rock" it:

Getting up there!!

Gwen and Sherlock... the best cheerleaders! :)

Then we went and threw the pooperdog in the lake (it was hot!) and went and had some popsicles and beer on a friend's porch while Sherlock played ball. I wrapped up the day with a scrumptious dinner by Debbie (including strawberry shortcake) and now it's time to read a book and sleep. Yeah... I can handle days like this!! :)

Bear!!

So this is actually my second bear of the year (or fourth if you're counting total numbers) A couple of weeks ago, I saw a mom and three cubs from a distance in the National Park, but tonight, this hungry bear was visiting my next-door neighbors! He was awfully cute, but awfully naughty... he broke their porch, got their humming bird feeder, and their two seed bird feeders.

But he was very cute and fuzzy :) A great way to end my last day of school. (Well, I have to go back in and work all day tomorrow, but it was my last day with kids! Woo hoo!!!)
