NINE days until school starts again! We are finishing up summer activities while we have the time, because once school starts any "downtime" will be few and far between!
Cooper has almost earned his Wolf badge in scouts. I'm learning that having a son in scouts is fun, interesting,......and lots of work! :-) Here are pictures of Cooper completing his "make something useful with wood" requirement. Amelia did as well because whatever one of them does, the other must follow!

| Cooper's finished bookcase/ends. As soon as we took this picture, he removed the books, flipped the bookcase over, and it's been a bench for Teddy ever since. |
The weather cooled off for a few days last week, and it was perfect talking-a-walk-weather. I can't wait for autumn!
We also visited the Museum of Idaho's Pirate exhibit with Mom and Dad. It was a lot of fun, even if it did change Cooper's view of the pirate world!

| All the mannequins were very life-like. |
 |
| Cooper enjoyed seeing all the real pirate artifacts, and he and Amelia even got to touch real pieces-of-eight! |

Next up: Party in the Park, school registration, haircuts, and last-minutes summer parties!

Oh boy! Teddy is one pampered bear! I love the pirate hat. Is that from Coop's own collection or did he get it at the museum? Miss you guys.
