It was Hummingbird weekend again for the Smith family. This year it was just Aaron and that works out great because we officially had a legitimate excuse to take pictures of him. Aaron does not like to pose for his mother's camera these days so he's rarely on the blog. You all probably wondered if he'd moved out. (Actually sometimes I wonder that myself. Every afternoon, I can count on getting a phone call saying that he is with his friends at Taylor's house and he'll be home later.) Aaron claims band camp was lame and that he had a horrible time, but I will just say that last night he updated his Facebook status from "single" to "in a relationship" - so you be the judge.
This was Sam's fourth year at Hummingbird and he is now a pro. Technically, he could be a chaperone for the next ten years if all of our kids choose to play in the band. Oh who am I kidding? They don't actually have a choice. :)
Chad looking out at Soda Springs. We have a tradition of visiting Soda Dam on the way home from the Jemez each year. Chad was glad to make the trip up to Hummingbird but says he was grateful not to have to stay for the whole weekend for the first time in three years. His big band trip this year is to Anaheim. Things sure do change going from DRMS to LCHS.

Checking out the falls!
Aaron crossing the springs. The girls were furious that we wouldn't let them do it. Sadly, they are not quite as agile as Big Aaron and we knew such a feat would inevitably end in tears and wet clothing.

Way cute picture of you by the falls Julie! And THANK YOU so much for dinner. Pretty sure we would have had crackers for dinner without the lasagna you dropped off - you are awesome!
What impressive kids you have and I love your new hobby with your girls. We love Jemez falls, but I was always afraid one of my kids would walk right over the edge.
Aaron, in a relationship? How do you feel about that?
Band camp! You are one of those kinds of moms, huh? :-) A smart mom!
p.s. So I'm totally curious about what paper in NM would run that photo of me and David Arch? You thought I photoshopped? :-) I'm the real deal. You may touch me now.
