Mila's Birthday Party

Mila was busy this week with two swim meets and a birthday party. 

Happy Birthday Mila!

 Mila turned 11 today! Both sets of grandparents where here to celebrate with us.  

Movie and a hike

 Saturday was a bit rainy, so we decided to head to the movies and then do some shopping ahead of our trip. On Sunday, it was nice, so Elan, Tika and I went for a hike.

Elan off to camp

 On Monday morning, Elan went to Boy Scout camp for the week. On Friday we went to pick Mila up at horse camp. They were suppose to do a demonstration on the horses, but a massive storm came though right before the demonstration and flooded the arena! They did get to show us around and we got to meet her horse (Crackers).  According to Mila and the other campers, "Crackers is very lazy." However, he is a beautiful horse. 

On Saturday, we got up early and drove to New Hampshire to pick Elan up at camp. We decided to hike Mount Major, which was close to the scout camp. Elan wasn't too thrilled because he was exhausted from his week, but it was a great hike nonetheless.

Mila's off at camp

On Saturday we went to the pool and grilled with the Hollywoods. Then on Sunday we took Mila to Camp Marshall. She will be spending the week working with horses. Mila was a bit nervous at first, but then she saw some horses and became really excited for the week. Elan's camp start got delayed by a day, so after we dropped Mila off, we went to the movies. 

Fourth of July

We decided to get a world map where we scratch off all the places we have been. It was fun to scratch off a number of countries; but we have a lot to go! 

This weekend we went to Madison CT to stay with the Gilmores's house. Their house was on the water overlooking Long Island. There were storms on the 4th, so after the parade, we did a little shopping before heading home.
