Beachhouse




Great weather last weekend for another trip to the beach. This time,Joe brought his friend from Scouts, Cody. Tom and Tammara were in town from Spokane with her niece from Nevada, Sierra. The 4 kids had a lot of fun together. My parents and grandma were also there. It was nice to here about my mom's Europe trip.
We didn't come out until late Friday after the Kiwanis Salmon bake at Steele Lake. The Scouts had to assist our Troop sponsor, the Kiwanis.
The boys started Scout Camp on Sunday but I won't be able to join them until Wednesday. I only have so much vacation.
I am still doing a lot of bike riding to work. 240 miles for the month of July.

Silverwood

Fun time this weekend at Silverwood theme park in Idaho. We met our friends the Traxels in Spokane and spent the whole day on Saturday at the water park and going on roller coasters. 6 boys with all of their names starting with "J" which made it a little confusing. Lots of fun and the boys want to make it an annual trip. I hope this works but I took of video of Joe, Jess, Jeremy and Max on the Corkscrew- the first modern roller coaster to go upside down.

New Bunny Record

I have been riding the interurban trail to work and I count rabbits in the morning. This week, the kids are away so I have been riding all the way into work instead of just from the park and ride. Tuesday I saw 47 rabbits and Wednesday 43. After work I have been riding to Seattle and eating happy hour food. Meg picks me up so I don't have to ride all the way home.

Jess is camping this week with Malik. Joe is going to an art camp in Tacoma and staying with Nana. We are going to Silverwood this weekend with the Traxels so we are leaving right after work on Friday and picking up the kids in Tacoma.

I didn't post but last weekend, we took 3 of Jess' band friends out to the beach and we had a great time playing in the water.

1 week until Boy Scout Summer camp and only 4 weeks before our trip to England.

4th of July at Beach house




Great Weekend of Fireworks at the beach house. Gerrit's family and Nana are still in Europe. Dennis was fishing in Canada, so we invited the Knutsons to come spend the weekend with us. Skyler Lamb also joined us. The weather wasn't that great but it was good enough for some boat play. Lots of great food and wine as usual. Jess spent the previous week at Boy Scout Leadership camp so we picked him up at Camp Delezenne on Saturday morning.
