July started with Jack (and Dad, for part of the time) at Camp Buffalo for a week of summer camp. After summer camp, we took a family trip that also involved camping. We traveled through Canada, spent a few days near and in Montreal, then we met our friends for a few days in Vermont in the mountains next to the Appalachian Trail (it ran right next to our campsite). We went less rustic for a few days, still with our friends, near Boston in a beach house, until we finally headed back to our home via Niagara Falls. There must be something about us and camping, because it rained almost everywhere we set up our tent. Oma and Opa visited us while they were on their way to visit Oma's brother and his family. In August, we drove to Kentucky to watch the solar eclipse with some friends who used to live near us. Then, for Kate, the big deal in September was her first chance to audition for the Nutcracker.
