August brings hints of fall to our world, and it's a special time to be out and about. On a recent camping trip, we were fortunate to stumble upon a natural bounty - wild strawberries. It was the absolute mother-load of berries; a crop that we'll likely not see again any time soon. We were trying to do some exploring, but our trip was slowed down considerably by the abundant strawberries that we just couldn't ignore.

The mini-blonds continue to grow strong, and Meredith is becoming quite the hiker. She's too big now to carry (and dad has to carry Delaney), so she's having to pull her own weight around the mountains (literally). Hopefully she'll keep her dad company over the long-haul.
