summer so far

I need to start carrying my camera with me 24/7 so I can capture every second of this summer that I can.

So far I haven't done too much other than go to class and work in my classroom, but I don't mind. Right?

Here are some things I have managed to accomplish so far...

Ethan and I hike the Y one evening. We had a good time hanging out. The view was, of coarse, wonderful! And I, of coarse, didn't bring my camera...

I guess we'll have to go again!

I finally made rainbow cupcakes. We used neon food coloring because it is so much funner much more fun! 

I made them with the neighbors kids last weekend and I instantly became the coolest babysitter ever. 

On the 4th, I ran the Freedom Festival 10K with my lovely friend McKell.

It took a week for my body to forgive me and I am only now no longer sore.

It was worth it though, I mean I got a shirt and a water bottle! Score!

If I forget how painful it was by next summer, I'll probably do it again.

Here we are post-running, pre-collapsing on the coach for the rest of the day.

And here is proof that I do still have time for my camera!

 In between the rain there was an amazing pink and purple sunset.

This took precedents over homework for a few minutes while I captured the colors.

Dear Rain,

I don't mind if you stick around for a few more days, I think you are just swell.

Sincerely, 

Me.
