What Kate Likes

Kate insisted I take dictation from her the other night. Here's what she said:

I like to be a flamingo for Halloween, and I like to go on swingsets at my Opa & Nana's, and I like to go to the beach with my Mommy & Daddy.

I love Mommy.

I like to drink Juice, and I like to see rainbows.

I like fairies. My favorite fairy is Syl, and my favorite color is red, and I love Daddy, and I love to paint, and I also love my whole bear friends.

I'm good at making rhyming words

Kate's class made a book of what each kid "is good at." Most of the kids said they were good at soccer and baseball. Here's Kate's.




Kate's favorite rhymes:
Cat bat hat
Motion potion
Kate Tate great
Boo shoe two

Day 37: Reunion Cleanup

In recent years, we haven't made it back for Reunion cleanup. Always the Saturday before the first full weekend in August, cleanup is where a subset of our big family gets our campground ready for all 300 people next weekend.

I did way more kid wrangling than cleaning, but it was still fun to be with family.

Chad did all the work for our family: digging post holes, scooping cow poop, moving picnic tables, and shooting the bull with the wise elders. As seen here.




We spent some time riding on the back of the truck and swimming in the River.




Kate and Claire played with their cousins, Greta and Owen.




A highlight of the day was Kate saying "That's where you and Daddy got married" as we drove up to the camp house.
