The road

My husband bought a motorbike last summer. Or was it the summer before? Not quite sure. The reason I don't remember is that I haven't really ridden it a whole lot. He mostly just drives around town. I have been on a few of those rides. Very relaxing. this past spring we became close with another fellow rider who has been showing Brad the ropes and giving him tips. But more importantly they have been riding together. A few short trips here and there and then a few longer! Recently  the 3 of us and my daughter Olivia took a trip to Drumheller with the boys on their bikes. This was the longest ride that Olivia and I had ever been on. It was great!! (on the way there) On the way back I was freezing. Of course I do not have the proper attire for a motorcycle and when the temperature dipped, so did I! It was fun enough that I would do it again though! Here's on of my shots from "the road" (category for today) July 22!

summertime

Summertime is magical. From very early on we learn to enjoy the changing seasons. As little children we scream with glee running through the sprinkler on a hot day, after being stuck inside for the long winter months. When school starts, it becomes the signal for the break we are all longing for. A time that always seems to pass too quickly. For me it always seems to be a beginning. It's like January first. A starting point for new things. People change over the summer. Sometimes for better and sometimes for worse.Romances are started, some are ended, people lose weight, grow or cut their hair, change who they are! Some people move away and new people take their place. It's a time that songs and movies are made of. Whole stories can happen over the summer! I LOVE it! It's my favorite time of the year. My kids often ask what is my favorite season(because they are all about the favorites for everything)and I say that I love them all. I think I was only thinking of the weather. When it comes down to everything....Summer really is my favorite! It's also when my birthday and anniversary falls, so that's a bonus!!!So with all these feelings for summertime, it was really hard to think of a picture to submit for this category. I suppose any photo would do. I wanted to find one that summed it all up. Encapsulated everything I thought about summer. But of course, after describing how complicated it really is, how could I find just one picture? So this is the one you get! Enjoy~!

sleepovers are a huge part of the summer at our house. It's 10:30 and the girls are still asleep! :)
