Pets

Happy August Everyone!

Do you have pets at home? We have 3 cats who are more like family than they are pets. Our oldest cat is Eleanor Roosevelt. She loves to be with her people and is the "lap cat" of the bunch. Stella Luna is our mighty hunter who presents us with "gifts" almost every day; voles, moles, mice, rats, frogs, and snakes. Ginger Rogers was a rescued kitten who is afraid of her own shadow. She eats every meal as if it were going to be her last which is why she is as wide as she is long. They provide me with great stories which I then turn into books. Can you guess which cat is which?

Water Play

Goodmorning Sunshine!

How nice to wake up to a day filled with blue skies and sunshine. Alita spent last week at Eliteam summer camp for ski racers. The camp coordinator and former Olympian, Doug Lewis, recorded the daily events in his blog. The pictures showed the kids having a blast mountain biking, climbing on a ropes course, playing soccer, skiing down sand pits, and hiking; all in the rain and mud. Alita never had so much fun. Doug also has a camp for adults at the end of the summer. Hmmm, wonder if I have time to squeeze in a week of outdoor adventure?

We managed to get in some water skiing this weekend in between the storms. It was quite windy and the water was choppy, tough skiing but lots of jumps! Alita and I even managed to ski double.

Remember to play for at least an hour a day outside. That goes for adults as well as kids.

Have Fun,

Ms. Rogers
