Things I did this month:
Summer camp... summer camp... summer camp...!
Children's Adventure Company, Chess Camp, Big Sky Build It Racers and Trucks Camp
I have a radio in my room and now I can stay up and dance all night long
I have been to so many camps that everywhere I go in Santa Fe (and even ABQ), I have friends!
Mommy and I went camping at Lake Heron!

Random Conversations:
Ari (while playing Chess): Mommy, should I move my pond (i.e. pawn)

Ari (while going to bed): Don't let the bad bugs bite

           
Our garden:
Eggplant, zucchini, acorn squash, heirloom tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, corn, bell peppers, cucumbers, jalapenos, strawberries, raspberries

   
Our pretty yard

           
USA Chess camp with Sam and Avi

       
Messing around with Sam after camp

   
Drumming and lemonade and cookie stand
I made $20 ;-)

       
Chess club at Border's bookstore with Sebastian, Jacob, and Jessica

   
Snail hunting at St. John's College

CAMPING AT LAKE HERON WITH MY MOMMY

Whew, we made it!
And after only driving around lost for an hour... oh Mommy ;-)

The front of our campsite

       
Burgers, baked beans, and a walk around the lake skipping rocks

   
Boating (and fishing... badly)

   
It was monsoon season, but we played chess while it rained

   
I made a canon while Mommy cooked dinner
Just put a rock on one end, drop this big log on the other, and... WATCH OUT!

       
Bell peppers from our garden stuffed with rice and sausage... yummy!
And marshmallows of course!

           
We rowed out to the island (well mostly Mommy rowed while I entertained her)

Mommy and I had an awesome camping trip ;-)
