I wasn't even done loading pictures but this laptop is so problematic that I put in what I could, which takes many attempts because the computer kicks me off every time, and decided to write another day. So here goes...In June we went to Car d'lane and gawked at the many amazing cars like the original woody wagon, which has always been my dream car, and the "band wagon" car. I have no idea if that's the name but that's what I called it. And I thought, "It's a band wagon...should I get on it?" I think all it took was something like a dog wearing a scarf to distract me again, but we saw it and kept moving, which was hard being that the immature dweeb in me wanted to violently jump on and start banging and smashing around in all the instruments like a trunk monkey. You know, like those Jack Russells you see that are always shaking because they just want to run wild but they've been trained not to? Ya, we're like kindred spirits. I also tried wearing Bennett on my back until I humbly had to admit that in the first five steps I had taken, I almost fell over three times. Richard laughed at me and gave me this,"oh you sweet, naive little weakling", and threw him on his own back. We also have been enjoying playtime in the back yard and our trip to Manito park in Spokane. I swore to Bennett that we'd go when it wasn't just the two of us with him on a leash but that's the only way I could keep up with him. It's really beautiful, these pics don't do it justice. Then for the 4th of July we headed to Bigfork and enjoyed some time with Grandpa, Mimi and the family. My friend Megan and her two kids, Joel and Ella also joined us so it was really fun. Richard had the flu more than half of the time so he missed out on a lot. It was so sad. We've been doing well and Bennett is talking more and more everyday and flirting with all the ladies he can. He can count to ten and hasn't been charged with grand theft auto yet which is both suprising and great because he manages to steal one or two cars from EVERY house we visit. I seriously should start documenting it and taking pictures! We hope you all are well and are enjoying your summer! PEACE!!!
