Hadassah and Daddy had an afternoon of errands.  Daddy had several places to go and took Hadassah along as his helper, they stopped for a cookie along the way and had fun spending time one-on-one!

The first week of August, Abigail did a week of IMACS camp- she won a free week from an open house raffle!
Corban and Abigail both took the month off from swim team, and both have started piano lessons (we have a teacher that comes to the house for lessons with the children once/week).

Last visit, Corban had stitches and wasn't allowed to get in the water.  So, this year he was eager to go skiing again!  
Abigail got right up, she was more cautious this year, and had a fun time skiing!
