So, we didn't spend the *entire* summer holed up in the house, running the a/c because it was too smoky to safely go outside :). Here are some of the things we did, with more posts to follow...

Here are Adrienne and Lydia after the annual Enloe family picnic. The kids all look forward to it, as there is a variety of bar-b-que food to eat, plus lots of fun kid stuff like face painting (obviously!), a jumping house, games, etc.

Here is Aaron, Jonathan, Annie, and my mom at our friends, Eric and Sarah Becker's house. They're standing in front of the Becker's apricot tree, which my mom and I were able to pick apricots from...

Here's what I've decided about California: it's a wonderful place to live, in spite of the high cost of housing, because there are so many perks, like farmer's markets and good friends with fruit trees who are generous :). Seriously, we love all the fresh fruits and vegetables that grow here all year round...

Here's Simon (with Adrienne in the background) swimming...

And here is Elijah doing his favorite thing, while hanging out with Eric and Eric's mother in law.
