foxtrot tried his foot as soccer

So, at this point in foxtrot's life, he is a non-conformist. And is also isn't so into team sports. He enjoyed soccer practice, when everybody had a turn, but in the games, he tended to hang out on the side of the field that did not have the ball. He mostly made missile and car noises as the kids ran past him. And when the ball did happen to graze his toes, he just waited for it to pass.

Here he is getting after it at practice.

Feeling the wind in his hair.

But, in the games. . . . not so much action.

He really liked getting his trophy. But he asked, "why doesn't mine have a pony tail?"

family summer fun

As summer bounces to an end and the daylight hours are getting shorter, I find that I have more time to look through the thousands of photos we took this summer. It was a very busy summer filled with travel, soccer (more to come on that), hiking, swimming, camping, and some relaxing. It was great. But one of the best things about this summer was getting to spend it with family. Check out photos from our  hike to Cascade Pass and picnic to Baker Lake.

The next photo was too cute not to share….

Tango loves the chickens. She beelines it for the coop when she gets outside.
