This is why I'm hot

What have we been doing this summer? Besides selling our house suddenly, moving in less than a month, going on a couple short vacations, and trying to settle on house plans; yes, we have gone boating. Mostly, we have made a few day trips to Lake Powell. We have camped out there a couple of times. Last week, we rented a houseboat and stayed for a few days. I took the kids out of school the last two days of the school week. It's still a little weird to me that they are back in school. Where did my summer go?
Not once did I take the kids to the city swimming pool. I usually go at least three times or more a week in the summertime. I think the whole moving thing threw me off a little. I am sure you all know by now. One day, early in May Britt called and said he thought he had our house sold. I didn't know we were trying to sell it. "Whatever" was basically my response. A week later, Geraldine Bailey came over to look at it. A couple days after that, we signed papers and she handed us a check for the purchase price. We (what am I saying--I) had three weeks to get moved out, and then Britt and I would be leaving on a motorcycle trip down the Oregon coast. Luckily, Britt found us a nice little trailer to rent while we figure out what to do about building.
I won't go into detail about what a process that has been.
Let's see, here's some pictures from our summer:

We went up to Island Park, Idaho and stayed in a cabin there earlier this month. We spent some time in Yellowstone while we were there. It was with some of Britt's family. Then, on the way home, we spent a day at Lagoon. Nancy joined us. That was a lot of fun, too. Maybe later I'll tell a little more about our Oregon trip.
