Get outside!

Sometimes I just NEED to get outside, to spend a few hours in the dirt and the sunshine to reboot. Last weekend I told C that I didn't care what else we did, but I wanted to hike and find a waterfall. So we did, and it was AMAZING. We hiked to a gorgeous fall, swam, and came home dirty and sun-kissed. It was exactly what I was looking for.

And the next day, we sent Eli off for a week at Scout camp! This is his third year, and I was really struck by how big he is. I miss him a lot (more than I thought I would) and I really hope he's having a good time. He signed up for Wilderness Survival and Rifle this year. On one hand I hope they're as awesome as he hoped and on the other I'd really like for him to come home with all his original parts.
