Franching: Last week before school starts

My friend and I chuckled as our girls were asking us what all we had at our wedding the other night.  We were attending the wedding of a high school friend who conservatively waited to get married.  The main reason we were laughing at that we had no money for a huge party when we were young and just starting out.  She told her daughter – we just had cake and punch in the church basement, no meal, not dance.  They have been married twenty years, so having a dance didn’t make or break the success of the marriage.
Addie managed to make it through band camp this week.  She plays the trumpet.  It’s quite a change going from just sitting and playing to the marching and dancing for the band.  Plus there is a lot of new music to learn. 
Allie enjoyed the week in Colorado with my parents.  Well, maybe I shouldn’t say she enjoyed the week since she got sick one day.  Thankfully they really didn’t have a tight schedule planned, so they just were able to hang out and play at their cabin part of the time.  On their way the stopped at some sand dunes.  The girls ran around and played for a while until their feet got hot walking on the sand.  The main part of the trip was riding the train through the mountains at Durango.  Most evenings they enjoyed swimming and playing around.  Finally, they came home on Friday and survived the long trip home. 
Weston got to enjoy some boy cousin time.  Levi came over and spent the night.  They went to church together on Wednesday night and played the next day.  They went over to the shop and played in the big pile of sand.  Weston then went over cousin Grants house and did some backyard swimming, bicycle riding and just some boy time.  They played for several hours and seemed to have a good time together.
Saturday I finally did the dreaded school supply shopping.  I think I have everything but who knows, I can get more things later if they need it.
Luke had a flat tire on the baler but was not able to get it fixed before more rain started coming down.  Will he get it dried to start baling again before the next little shower, who knows?
