3rd Annual Trip to McCall

Hanging out at Ponderosa Park.

Our Bike ride to the Overlook at the north end of the park.

Wishing we owned one of the mansions on the lake!

Boating with Mom and Dad.

Can't wait for next year!

Mt Borah

What an exhasting day! We had never hiked Mt. Borah, so we didn't know what to expect. We hiked for almost 6 hours that day!

The views were amazing!
Danny prides himself with his crazy hair. How crazy can it get before vacation is over?!

We finally made it to the tree line...then it only got harder!

We made it all the way to just below "Chicken Out Ridge" when I did just that! It was so windy with no trees to block it. We made it to about 11000 ft. Only 1500ft to go, but I couldn't do it! Jumping out of an airplane is one thing, but being blown off a cliff is so much scarier! The guys will have to go without me next time!

A little rain, a lot of wind, but all in all it was a pretty good day.

Poor Brody

Crazy Brody is not allowed to go out on the boat, so when we are at Bear Lake this barn is his dungeon for a few hours. Needless to say, he is not happy when we leave. This picture of him looks deceivingly calm, but don't be fooled. He goes crazy.

What is the facination with miniature donkeys?

They could have fed those donkeys apples off grandma's tree all day!

July on the Boat

American Falls Resevoir

4th of July Weekend

We spent a day hiking at Bloomington Lake. There were quite a few people there because of the weekend, but no one was ambitious enough to hike where we did, so it was nice a quiet on top of the mountain.

Its always a little difficult to get a picture together when its the two of us and a dog!

This is our tree from last year. We found the same spot.

I love this picture of Danny and Brody. It was so calm and quiet up there.

I had to put this one in because it shows off Danny's big muscles! I'm engaged to one hot guy!

The next day we went boating with Miriam and family. First time out on the boat this year, and the water was COLD! Even by Bear Lake standards. Little Jaxon didn't like the life jacket much, it smushed his chubby cheeks!

Brother and sister...so cute.

West Fork Mink Creek Trail

The west fork trail was so green! I guess that is the only benefit of rain the first 3 weeks of June!

It did rain on us a little, but it was still a fun day.

Danny hates to smile in pictures!

Turns out Brody doesn't have such good balance on logs. He had a rough time with it, but we finally got some pictures.

New Ceiling Fan

Its strange what excites you when you get older. I forgot to take a picture of the old fan before I lovingly threw it in the garbage can, but if I had, you'd realize why I was so excited to get a new one. I know what you are thinking Mom, I was a little nervous by Danny's set up too. This is the entry way and it is higher than it looks. That is the top of the front door. He has better balance than I realized!

The final product is beautiful. You did a great job Danny!

Abby and Tate

We were visiting with Danny's family on Sunday and I caught these two on camera playing the piano. It was lovely music and they played so well together.
