July started with a bang of celebrations for us. We attended Canada Day and 4th of July celebrations. There were lots of fireworks and in our community, people were setting them off almost a week in advance! We had a great time and managed to beat the heat at both of them. Later in the month Qualcomm had their annual summer picnic at Heritage Park near Golden. Ehren took the girls and had a great time. Evan and Janelle stayed home as it was too hot for him to be out in the heat (and not able to benefit from any of the fun).
We've been busy keeping up with the kids and keeping up with ourselves. Ehren continues with his activities. Janelle has been spinning at the local rec center once a week as well as running and keeping up on the elliptical. Most recently we did aquire another bike! Janelle's now part of the bike scene! The first ride was successful. We took advantage of having Blair & Darlene here and we managed to get out for a bike ride together while they watched the kids. What a great way to have a first bike ride...and her first one in 10 years!! We went about 58km in about 2 hours and Janelle only had one fall...at a stand still. Those darn clips got her!!:-) There's a few girls around here for her to bike with but we're also working on Deana...maybe she'll get a bike too. Bonus for Janelle this month...she even got out for a couple rounds of golf!
Red & Dar arrived the last week of July while on their way back from their "cross Canada trip". It was great to see them again and we enjoyed the visit as usual. At the end of the month we had a big dinner at D & Jay's for Janelle's birthday which was quite nice...more than enough ribs and shrimp for everyone! We're awaiting the arrival of Elaine. It's the first time she's visited us since we left California...we'll see what she thinks!
