| A Colorful Weekend |
This past weekend was fun, but exhausting! It was a great weekend filled with time with our sister-in-law and niece, small town events and another 5K to add to my growing list.

| Making a colorful shirt |
Our sister-in-law and niece came into town on Thursday. We had a great time with visits, eating good food (both out to eat and at home), going on adventures, watching movies and playing. I got to take our niece to the grocery store (and give her mom a relaxing morning getting ready). Our niece had some time with her uncle at the playground and enjoyed playing with our pup. We went swimming a couple of times at the pool because it is ridiculously hot here!

| Taking a walk |
On Saturday, my sister-in-law and I walked in the Color Dash. This is a 5K they had in town to raise money for a local non-profit - Project SAFE. The Color Dash provided us with pristine, white t-shirts which we promptly got dirty and colorful. We did the walk in 1 hour and 1 minute (good job us!) during a cool and overcast morning. It took 2 showers and lots of scrubbing to get most of the color off. However, I
still (4 days later) have a bit of pink on my scalp that won't come off!

| Adding more colors |
We attempted to preserve the colors in our shirts with vinegar and heat. My shirt held onto the pinks and oranges, but lost a bunch of the blues and greens. Hopefully next year we can keep some of the "cool" colors in the shirt!

| Color Blast |
It was a busy, but fun weekend! Our pup is still tired - sleeping really, really hard and in awkward places - but she enjoyed hanging out with a toddler. We are sore and tired, but content. I'm settling back into the summer routine, which will change again next week, but more about that later.

| Such a silly pup - playing with toddlers is tiring! |
