Summer Camp and a shaker

This was the week of Cub Scout summer camp.

It was a rough one for anxiety.

I have been drinking nothing but water for the last few weeks and Kelsey got me this amazing water bottle.

I now want to have my water bottle with me everywhere.

The beginning of camp was good.

After the bang of beginning the stress of the rest of the week was the major hallmark of the event.

Kiernan got carsick headed up into the mountains and his anxiety levels made it all worse.

He made it through the day above but just couldn't go the next day.

There were some good things. Kiernan loved the bb guns and archery but didn't pass his swimming test.

Its been raining so much that my tomatoes are splitting.

We had a cool vegan potluck lunch at work for Donnies birthday.

The end of Cub Scout camp finally came.

I hope that there are some achievements that come from it. Kiernan and Alex had a fight and even though they made it up I feel like the stress was just not worth it.

Megan was mad that she couldn't do it and quite wants to try it next year. 

I will let her if she wants but have told Kiernan that he doesn't have to go to any camps anymore.

We tried to have a quiet nonevent filled weekends thereafter.

We went to the pool.

I worked on jorvik pipes while the kids played games.

The pipes are now making off tune whistling noises, my next step is to fill them with bees wax or oil to smooth the sides.

The heat and rain have been keeping the flowers going.

Megan has been a mermaid. She finally got her fun fin mermaid tail.

Its the most awkward thing!

She hops around the house and tries to go up and down the stairs in it. 

Megan got the hair to go with her tail.

I got a watermelon dress.

I got sushi in the dress and made this important video.

On Friday David took me to the best Greek/Turkish restaurant.

Ayse Mezza...please go there.

I ran 3 miles on Saturday morning. It was mega hot and after the run David and I did yard work until we dropped.

On Sunday I finished my shaker.

I'm very pleased.
This is the first of the projects from a book I am hoping to work through.
I will make a few more. Megan wants this one.
I will make one for Chase at work who said he was interested in one if I made more and I will offer one to Haven.

I got a wood engraver to learn how to do that. I want to put a vine up the side of one of these.

Also I am adding the Missy makers mark.

There it is.

Next week we will be on vacation and I am super ready to go away for a while.

Kiernan has been having stomach difficulties and anxiety and what is probably depression and I am very worried about him.

I am really not looking forward to the beginning of the school year.
