Well, maybe not exactly wild, but a great time nonetheless. There's nothing like the mountains and the woods to calm everybody down. There was a birthday celebrated (Matt), some Monarch butterflies, a little hail, a lot of summer treats, a great art camp, some friends who were also able to escape LA for a bit, as well as some blissfully lazy and quiet afternoons with nothing to do but read or listen to the woodpeckers or sweet baby Jude babble away. Summer at it's best and bittersweet as it quickly draws to a close.
