Cooling off on the Water Slide




The kids stayed home while the adults were kayaking, so Chris set up the water slide so they could cool off and get rid of some energy! Some of them couldn't even wait for swim suits - they just went in their clothes.

The Lang Family

We were excited to have Sandi, Ang and Oz stay with us for a few days. We had a great time - thanks for the visit and the great memories!

Kayaking Tour

Chris arranged a 12 mile kayaking tour for us on the river. We couldn't have had better weather - it was a beautiful day. We took in the scenery, got a little wet, had sore arms, and Corey, Trevor and Lora did some cliff jumping.

Playing on Lake Pend Oreille






We had fun playing on the water with our family. Great memories - thanks!

Braces for Tiffany

Tiffany got her braces on last week and is starting to get used to them. Only 18 months to go!

Building a birdhouse


Kai and Sam built a birdhouse with the scraps from the garage.

Update!

Last weekend we had a visit from Cam, Joanna, Becky, Taylor and Gabrielle. I was so lame - I didn't take one picture the whole time. Not sure why, I usually always have my camera out. We had fun playing in the water and just hanging out.

Courtney and Tiffany just returned from their TREK to Wyoming with Newport and Priest River wards. They spent five days pulling handcarts, crossing rivers, battling the wind, and learning about the pioneers and the Martin Handcart Company. It was a great spiritual experience! They were glad to be home - with sun burns, blisters and chapped lips!

LEGO Maniacs



Kai and Sam worked hard to earn enough money to buy their new LEGO Star Wars kit. It only took them 4 hours to put them all together. They were exhausted, but excited to finally play with them.

Crazy Cadoo


Cat Tales Zoo






The girls were gone on their TREK to Wyoming this week, so the boys and I went to Cat Tales. Cats sleep a lot, so we went right when it opened so we could hear the lion roar and watch the tigers play. We had a great time!

Yay! Sam finally rides in the tube

Well, we finally convinced Sam that he would survive a ride in the tube. We went pretty slow, but he loved it!
