Loved having you and the girls for breakfast. I love your hair in the family picture. I remember how much I loved and needed my summer vacations when the folks lived in Rupert.

And they call that a vacation? I guess that's what vacations are- on the go, but a break from the normal life. So glad you had fun and were able to do so many exciting things!
