July in a nutshell

After returning from North Dakota, we hung around town mostly waiting for summer to officially start, don't let all the water photos fool you, it wasn't all that warm! Softball was in full swing, although our horrible schedule this time meant almost every other week we had a bye, Doug was playing coed soccer and we traveled to Vail for the annual men's tournament. They won their bracket, but lost in semi-finals so they were not repeat champions. We fit in a couple local camping trips and as much time at the lake as we could. The end of the month was capped off by our first ever trip to the county fair, which was fun for all, even if the weather tried to spoil it.Caleb at Boyd Lake for Amber's surprise birthday party
