I was able to (over the course of two days) get pictures of Koori's morning greeting to Alli. Koori just doesn't understand that someone might not want to say good morning! She is up in Alli's face first thing! Alli is very good about not pushing her - she just wiggles around until Koori jumps down. It is very cute!

I am partially kid-less this weekend. AJ is camping with the scouts up at Whiskeytown Lake this weekend. They took the canoes up, and are meeting with some cub scouts and will be teaching them how to canoe. It would be fun to watch! The troop is really trying to get kids into it, the older boys have started dropping out, and we have not had a lot of younger kids coming in. It is time for a recruitment press! For the last couple of years, they have not really been pushing the recruitment, so now - here we go! It changes the dynamics of what the group activities are - like camping at Whiskeytown and spending the day with the cub scouts. AJ is also signed up to do a flag ceremony in Anderson next weekend, and they are lining up boys to help out in cub scout dens.

The weather has changed this week - our highs are in the 80's, not the 100's! It has been very nice. The smoke has pretty well cleared out from the Moonlight fire as well. We had some very pretty sunrises and sunsets, but I am glad the smoke is gone (and the fire is getting under control).
