What I learned on my summer vacation

1. Life is not like Mario Kart, and I have the destroyed fender and headlight to prove it.

2. When you have a wii, your spare time plans itself.

3. Zuchinni is a crazy plant. One day it is dying, the next it is exploding.

4. Boise deserves to be the capitol of Idaho, simply because it is where my awesome 3 year old niece lives. And they have a pretty good zoo.

5. When you go on 11 road trips to see family in one summer, you gain an appreciation for audiobooks. We had a lot of fun listening to Fablehaven, Harry Potter, and the Da Vinci Code.

6. My cousin Trevor is going to be an amazing missionary in New Zealand. We are going to miss him so much, but we are excited for him.

7. You can fit 9 people in a 2 bedroom house, as long as someone is willing to sleep on the kitchen floor with their head under the table. We loved having the Beckstead Family visit us!

8. Being married to Jake is just as fun as it was 2 years ago.

9. Camping is the best when you have a crazy Uncle Nick as your camp host! Blow Out camp ground in Palisades is one of the most beautiful places in Idaho. And ice cream really does taste better when it is in a square shape.

10. Jake is a girl's camp hero--he carried a heavy 13 year old girl up a big hill "princess style" when she "twisted" her ankle.

11. Sometimes hubcaps like to stay at girls camp after you leave.

12. We have all sorts of cool distant relatives around here that we got to meet an a Reynold's fmaily reunion in Ashton, Idaho.

13. I prefer my regular students to the ones I had in summer school who have the "My daddy can buy my grade" mentality.

14. Cub scouts are FUN!

15. Blogging should happen more often. As much as I snoop and read, I should be doing more of it.

I don't know how I missed this post of yours, but I agree with the last point...You should blog more often. I always smile when I read your witty humor. Still miss you. Still want to see you...
