Eden turned 8 this month

 
Her party theme was dragonflies and Rachel of course made a cool cake and amazing piñata.

Here's the butterfly we kept as a caterpillar and watched come out of it's chrysalis.  The girls gave it some pretty flowers
right as it emerged--see the chrysalis on the right?

 
Samara just loved playing with the butterfly all day and was so sad to say goodbye in the afternoon when
it was time to let the butterfly fly away.

 
India and Samara at the ranch of a fried of mine.  They are crazy about horses.

An autumn hike in the Tetons.

 
See Eden holding up a miniature Asia?  And I took a little head dip in the stream on the way back.
