Did I say something about a return to routine? Last weekend was tons of fun but anything but routine. Saturday after a crazy morning of running around we joined some friends for their daughter's birthday party. As fun as 
Gavin’s big-kid birthday party was, I’m mourning the passing of these more family-oriented gatherings. In addition to enjoying pink cake and ice cream, Gavin got roped in to scooter assembly, and Arwen and Chad caught a game of croquet.That evening within half an hour of the piano moving crew’s scheduled arrival, Chad discovered there was no way to get the piano that came with our house out of our basement.
After some hand-wringing on my part and ingenuity on Chad’s, the cellar stairs were dismantled and Chad had a plan. Only after some serious effort from three very dedicated friends and Chad did the piano emerge from the basement. Then the bad news – the scheduled delivery of our new piano was on hold, perhaps permanently. Stay tuned for the conclusion of our piano adventure!
For the past two years we’d been hearing about the amazing meadow in the college arboretum where Chad does some of his research. Sunday afternoon we took a walk there, pausing while Chad identified plants and the kids scrambled on rocks. It was great to spend some relaxing time as a family in such a beautiful place.
Monday we headed over to Jessica and Dave’s place for Camp Liberty closing ceremonies. It was great to hang out with no serious game plan, with all the adults talking and eating while the kids played together. After lunch the kids took turns reciting the camp scripture(2 Nephi 1:7) in exchange for treats, and they all sang the camp song. We’ve had a great summer together and hope to do it again next year!
