lost forever

It is official, I have lost my camera. I can't believe it! I had taken it to the pool a few days ago to take pics of V's first time swimming in a public pool. I must have either put it under a chair at the pool and forgot it or someone got in my bag when I was helping the boys swim and had taken it. Either way, it is gone with an entire memory card worth of pics that I hadn't transfered over yet. I am VERY VERY VERY upset right now.
So now I am in need of a new camera but they are so expensive that I just don't know what to do at the moment. If I am going to replace mine I want to get a nice one. I have been wanting to get into photography for the last couple of years but my camera didn't let me do much. I guess this is the way I am going to get a better camera now.

Fair is coming up for the kids at the ranch. I now nothing about fair. I just helped Mr. Halquist (the 4H teacher and equine therapist) with 4H for the last 3 hours. I learned a lot! I didn't know that you had to be so specific with all measurements and feeding amounts. The more I learn about fair, the more excited I am to see all of the kids hard work.

Rupert has their July 4th fireworks tonight (it dosen't make much sense to me either). I am trying to decide whether to take the kids or not. The fireworks won't start until it gets dark, around 10pm. The kids have their last full day of summer school tomorrow and we won't be getting home till probably 11:30 and that means they won't be in bed a somewhat settled until midnight. I know that they would have fun but I just don't know if it is worth the hassel. (it also would mean that I would have to be up until midnight and I am not excited about that)
