Day 057: Campfire

Day 056: Kayaking

In the morning, we hiked (leg work-out) and in the afternoon, we kayaked the Rifle River (arm work-out). It was good exercise and wonderful to be in nature.

Day 055: Camping

Camping at the Rifle River Recreation Area.

Day 054: I win!

I won a gift certificate to The Gourmet Cupcake Shoppe in the adult summer reading program at the library. I also won two gift certificates at the movie night at Dow Gardens. The question was "Who played Rooster Cogburn in the original True Grit?" I was the first one to put up my hand, because, of course, the answer is John Wayne.

Day 053: Fiction Island

I just started reading One of Our Thursdays is Missing by Jasper Fforde. If you want to know about Fiction Island, you'll have to read the book. If you click on the picture, you can make it bigger. Where I'm pointing is a body of water called NaNoWriMo. That is where my novel is located on Fiction Island. ":)

Day 052: Trail Mix

I made trail mix for our camping trip: dried cranberries, raisins, almonds, honey roasted peanuts, cashews, sunflower nuts, pumpkin seeds, and soybeans.

Day 051: Pedicures by Lily

I painted my toenails black for the pirate adventure because I figured that if pirates painted their toes, they would paint them black. Then at the pool party on Sunday, Lily wanted toes like mine, but I talked her into glitter polish instead. She then proceeded to paint my toenails, Ashley's toenails, and Sarah's toenails. I tried to get her to paint the guys' toenails, but she wouldn't.
