Auntie Larissa visits!





Once again, I have way more photos and stories to tell than I have time. The summer has been so full for us, and it seems to not be slowing down! We've got an upcoming Garlic Festival, and a cool Family Fun Day in Kaslo for September in the way of festivals. I'm also enrolling Aloka in Gymnastics this week and we're so excited for that!
My sister and her boyfriend were just here for 4 days and we all had so much fun with them. We did lots of playing on beaches, hanging out on Baker Street, we went for a long walk on the railroad tracks, and of course, jumping on the trampoline. Larissa and her boyfriend Joe were amazing with Aloka and played with her so much. One morning, Joe told Aloka all about Garter Snakes, how to hold them, how they release a yucky smell when they're scared. Joe showed her how to hold one using a pretend fimo snake. Later that day, he caught a real one for her, and she got to apply her new snake knowledge! She was beside herself with excitement about it.
By the way, the second photo is Joe balancing on a rock at Cottonwood Falls. It was such a cool shot, I had to throw it in!
