More Summer Stuff

Kevin came back from a weekend camping in Ojai last month, and brought me this lovely snapshot. It's rare - I never let him take the camera, unless he is working on his photography merit badge. Rather pretty place, we ought to try it sometime.
We spent the Fourth over at a friend's house, watching the kids play in the pool while we sat around grazing for the afternoon. It was neat to watch from a distance the illegal fireworks being lit on our street.
Matt spent this last week at Cub Scout day camp over in Los Alamitos Joint Forces base. It's a big patch of dry, hot, gopher-holed dirt. They brought a fire truck in one day and turned the hose on the kids - they loved it. I think the grass shown here is the only patch on the place.

The boys also got to shoot bb guns, bows & arrows, do leather crafts, check out rocks, check the oil and tire pressure on a car, do some cooking, pet a K-9 dog, and a myriad of other things. They had a great time, and are ready to go back again. I think it will take me a year to clean out the dirt from his clothes and shoes.
