It's not all work...

We took some time for a couple of beautiful hikes in between moving boxes, and even had a surprise visit from some friends from Washington!

More scenes from the move-in

Helping with the move

I'm getting the chance to be with the Johnson's as they move into their new house in Utah...here are a few images of yesterday.

Just ducky

Marleys first trip in our boat

The day after

Sometimes the solstice is hard work.

Finished!

The deck looks great and offers us a great place for al fresco dining...c'mon over!

The project continues

Ben' friends

Today Ben came home sporting a new pair of shades. Jonathon, Ben's after school driver, thought that Ben was experiencing a bit too much sun on his rides home, so he just bought him a pair of sunglasses! Obviously Ben thinks he wears them pretty well!

Who knew?

I was taking a walk today while my car was at the shop and I stumbled upon this gem of Madison history.

Dear monarch caterpillars...

Fathers' day

Celebration

Happy birthday to Frank!
Happy engagement to Becky and Mitch!

Fun on the lake

Must be the week before the party

Because we are in the middle of a project!

Today's walk

So cool...

It's firefly season

Seriously...

Beautiful!

Froggy friends!

Look who was hiding behind the rain barrel!

Natural bridge hike

While Frank graciously watched Ben, Becky and I took Marley for a little hike today...beautiful!
