With one girl away for the week, we took the opportunity to let Daniel have his belated 12th birthday party. As a new deacon, he invited the boys in his quorum, plus a few boys who are about to turn 12, plus two other good friends. With brothers, that made 16 boys! They were supposed to play Capture the Flag, but it was still over 100 degress when the party began at 5 pm, so we opted for water fun. They had a water war in the back that moved out front. None of the neighbors called to complain, so I guess it went okay. At 8:45 pm, they finally headed over to the park with Rich for their game of Capture the Flag.

Like Wade, Rich also spent some time at Cub Scout Camp with Josh. Again, it was over 100 degrees which put a damper on Rich's fun but not Josh's! Rich did see Dan Peterson, a best friend from high school, someone he had not seen since college. We learned that he lives in our stake with his family.
This weekend, Rich will head off to camp again with Daniel and his Scout troop. Did I mention that we are going camping all next week at Bodega Bay? It is a good thing Rich has learned to like camping by now!!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaoNlLkPF_MfOqUBcBPmHY7gL02lvXvIYDI0wFicO-roxaaqCQFST9E-_6chYiu5l1rH1d03uUi0R3xLOxrrFg_BdNIuQb1SDd47yvQKbEzc5t_fOAq3JjOvO-Wn_tNkkeTP1r_AdgFY8/s400/IMG_0010.jpg)

Last is a picture of our little Miss Banana, my full-time job that keeps me home while Rich roams here and there camping with his kids. We all think she is the cutest baby ever!
