How do you like my first attempt at a slideshow I am pretty proud of myself. I hope everyone is having a great summer.

We are having a great summer. Jacob and Brook here and have been for quite awhile. We have been to the library a few times, the pool at the Cape, Vic's for lunch, the play park a couple of times and of course we have had a few visits into town. Jacob and I went to see Harry Potter with Tracy, Griffin and Dylan. Alister and Dina were also there enjoying the movie. We have been round to Uncle Bill's for dinner and cards. John just started his 3rd week of vacation. We take Brook back to Oregon on Saturday but Jacob is going to stay another two weeks. Julie and Kyle were here for a week and we all really enjoyed that special time. The weather this summer has been terrific with only 3 days rain in two months. We all had a wonderful 4th and it was so great having Julie and Kyle here also. We went to Roche Harbor for fireworks all though it was good not as good as Friday Harbor. The parade this year was the best. We went to the Fire Station for lunch instead of the Pig War Picnic so it also was a change from our normal routine. Kyle and Julie really enjoyed seeing the eagles this year and Julie got some great pictures of them. We all had a lovely time in Oregon at Josh and Shawna's wedding. It was lovely spending time with the family together. Of course it goes without saying I love my special times with Maggie and Heather. We went on the jet boat dinner cruise for John's 60th birthday and that was a great dinner and lots of fun. John, Kyle, Jacob and I also did some river rafting which we all enjoyed and of course we got soaked. Brook has been busy playing with the Cabbage Patch Babies and all the stuffed animals at the moment she is busy shouting at Bliss to get off of something. Brook enjoys playing with Annie and Bliss. This truly is a lovely summer.
