And now it is August...want to try a service berry tart?

This post really starts out in July. We took a little trip to Island Park and camped in the Box Canyon Campground. Taylor cut the tip of her thumb off while carving on a stick, and then caught her shirt on fire while sitting around the campfire toasting marshmallows. The next day we floated through Box Canyon on the Henry's Fork down to Last Chance before you get to Harriman Ranch. Taylor said it was one of the best camping trip she has ever been on.

There has been a count-down to August 2nd going on at our house. Breaking Dawn, the fourth book in the Twilight series came out at 12:01 am. Madi and 2 friends, Allie and Whitney, joined hundreds of other kids at the Barnes and Noble in Idaho Falls to get their copies. The theme of the gathering was Twilight Prom. Just for your information, these three are on team Edward, not on team Jacob. Their t-shirts read: TEAM EDWARD--1. because he sparkles, 2. because Jacob doesn't write lullabies, and 3. because only a vampire can love you forever...

(Edward is a vampire, and Jacob is a werewolf.)

Getting ready to go--have to have the red glittery nail polish!

The damage...(it cleaned up fine!)

Yesterday after church we climbed in the car for a Sunday drive. We ended up at Mesa Falls. It is one of my favorite places--I love water falls!

John pointed out the service berries to the girls, and they decided to take a chance and try them out. They ended up filling a water bottle with them to take home to Seth. They are hoping for a service berry tart from the master pastry chef of our house.

P.S. When we came home from our drive last night, a hot, home-made apple pie was waiting for us--what a life!
