Beetles

If I see something big and crawly -- a beetle -- I pick it up. And those are "beetles," not "bugs." I have identified many as "stink bugs." Mom and Dad think I'm a pretty good entomologist.

Milkshakers!

I love milkshakes. Especially chocolate ones.

We have a drive-in near our house that makes yummy ones. Usually after we get one, we go to "Slide Park" to play. (Editor's note: There are 3 slides and no swings. Strange.) I really don't want our hot summer weather to end!

Lake swimming

I've been swimming many places this summer. Some were warm, like Spirit Lake in Iowa. Others were chilly, like Georgetown Lake in Montana. That's me heading into Lake Agnes in the Pioneer Mountains. It was perfect!
