Well, it's been a weird one. But we've still had a lot of fun. Theo claims it was his best summer ever, due to the fact that he spent upwards of 6 weeks with one cousin or another. Some highlights in general:
- Carrie, Lucy and Theo took a long long drive from Colorado to California. Had a delicious grapefruit milkshake that so far we've been unable to replicate.
- meeting up with the Thomases and Rachel in Southern Utah and staying in a crazy cave house.
- Colin, Jackson, Theo and Levi spent many many hours hanging out on Minecraft and doing ALL the things. At one point there was a panda farm?
Jackson talked in his sleep: "No! Please no no Theo! Don't kill them! There's food in there!" and "OH Theo theo theo theo...so close."
- Sydney made a 'bored' jar. Theo drew the following out of it: "If Theo picked this he gets a scoop of ice cream. If you're not Theo, do 10 jumping jacks."
- Outdoor movies
- Playing Quiplash online together
- Theo unknowingly stepped on a dead chicken while taking food out to the coop, then freaked out a bit when he realized what he was standing on.
- Some kind of milkshake ordering disaster that included Beth having to back out of the drive-thru lane.
- Carrie stole Eric's lamps.
- Lucy got a drivers license, and Eric got a permit. Also Eric passed his math class with flying colors.
- Cousins camp was virtual this year.
- The beach trip included a hike by Claire's house, a great Montana de Oro picnic with crashing waves, chiseling our way into a watermelon using tiny rocks, and a really nice evening campfire.
- California caught on fire (more on that later), and the Rees's evacuated to the Thomas house, Mom and Sarah evacuated to Beth's and then Claire's, and Grandpa Brown hightailed it to Dean and Debbie's.
