Deadwood and Warm Lake

The kids all wanted to go camping at Warm Lake... to swing off the rope swing among other things. Since we were close to Deadwood we drove in to catch some nice fish. (a great fish fry...yummy)
While camping here we encountered Bears again... bears at Redfish and now Bears at Warm lake, this summer was the summer of camping with the bears.

Beautiful Baskets!

We have always gotten Jill flower baskets for Mother's day, but this year Jill wanted to create her own to see how well they did.... Needless to say, I was thoroughly impressed. Nice job sweetie, these make the house beautiful.

Brooklyn and Jill off to Spokane!

This was Jill's first road trip driving by herself....(scary!) She and Brooklyn went to Spokane for a soccer tournament. With Brandon starting a new job he wasn't able to take time off to go. So they made it a girls road trip! Her team did great making it all the way to the finals.(even with lousy officials) The girls even got to go stop by Lake Coeur d'Alene and resort for lunch and a walk around the boardwalk.

Camping at Red Fish Lake

A summer isn't complete without at least one trip to Red Fish Lake. Always beautiful and always a good time.

Bridger knows how to swim!

kick, kick, kick...

Everyone of our children is a fish. Thanks to their mother fish (former swim instructor/lifeguard), she makes sure she teaches them all early and they all love the water. Bridger was asking for his own lessons and took to the water instantly.

Mason's Birthday

He wanted an Acoustic guitar!

Mason had a wonderful birthday with the family. Later in the week he had another party with some of his friends (they went swimming, had a water balloon fight, a scavenger hunt, Mason even got smacked on the forehead with his first kiss!)

We love you Mason! another year and almost taller than your Mom!
