For the 4th of July, our family headed North for some fun in the water. David & Diana came with us! We had a VERY good time! We miss not having clean water in Moscow!
I miss you Betherina!! :)
For the 4th, after another fun day at Priest Lake, we celebrated it in Priest River, with Mike's family, then watched the show over the Pend Oreille River.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMMA!!!
Maybe NEXT year we can celebrate your birthday TOGETHER! :)
Here's a few pics from Sandpoint, Idaho
In July, we went floating on the St. Joe River with some friends. It was really nice. We took Brooklyn even and she really liked it. It helped that her BFF was there too. :) The route we took was about 3 1/2 hours. Then everyone had so much fun that the older kids went again on a different route, which took much longer than they thought, so they went again for another 3 hours or so! Brooklyn and Ella got a lot of playing time together! :) Everyone had a great time. I couldn't get any pics of us actually floating, since I didn't want to risk damaging my phone) :) But here are some pics I got :)
Brooklyn posed here and then made me take a picture of her.... haha
The kids found a big frog that they played with for hours, while the other kids were floating again.
Brooklyn with her BFF, Ella :)
Everyone was so cold when they got back from their 2nd float. Thank goodness for jean blankets and a fire :)
Really bad Picture, but this was suppose to be a pix of my two good friends and myself...
Super Time!!
We were able to go to Silverwood this year. We ditched Brooklyn off at my friends house, ALL day long!!! Thanks Connie! :) And we had the BEST time at Silverwood. We talked Mike's parents into coming. We all had a great time!
I put this pix up just for you Tara! I think all the birds finally moved out though! :(
I think this was the half-way point where everybody just needed a breather... haha :)
Dinner time! We ate the BEST Mexican food for dinner
Here's another picture just for you TARA! We had LOTS of good times on this ride!
I was impressed with Sydney this trip. She rode EVERYTHING!!!!! She was braver than Livia even in some ways! Pretty impressive for a 9 year old I thought! We were testing out a new camera, which has a cool "art" feature, so the sky isn't really stormy looking, the camera just over developed it, to make it look really cool and dramatic! :) I loved that camera!
The wave pool was the BEST! And the water slides were my favorite!
Here's some MISC pics from July
We had a very hot July, so lots of time in the baby pool!
Lots of dogs and s'mores in the fire pit
TONS of time at the park! Brooky's favorite!
More never-ending yard work!
Walks in the Arboretum
Livia got to go to Beehive Camp, since all the other youth went on the Pioneer Trek this year.
More water fun :)
I made a Capri-Sun Beach Bag.... (I know, I know..... I'm officially mom) :)
Livia was such a good little mommy to Brooky this summer! She's so patient with her. Now if Brooklyn would just be as nice back to Livia.....hmmm
We had a great July, and it's been a great summer so far!
