What Did You Do This Summer?

I can't believe I haven't posted anything since June.  Seriously, have I really been so busy that I couldn't take time to update my blog?  I know that summer must be officially over since the red, white and blue decorations are being replaced by pumpkins and leaves of gold, the coat rack is filled again with jackets and backpacks and the crockpot is full of soup.  Today I am making chili for the ward's Chili Cook-off or I should say Rick is making chili for the ward's Chili Cook-off.  (It counts if he picked the recipe he wanted me to use, right?)

So here are some highlights of our summer.  You can be the judge if we kept busy and had fun.  (Pictures are not necessarily in chronological order)
