Guess where we are going ...

aloha, and see you next week!

1 tent, 3 sleeping bags and 1 brave Dad

In the spring we planned out our summer plans - one plan was to do a little tent camping here and there. We made reservations months ago for a camp spot - last week. I had to run out of town last minute to go spend some much needed time with my parents - But that did not stop Mark! He packed up those two kids, the tent, 3 sleeping bags and some basic supplies - what a guy!! The kids loved their first camping trip and I think that Mark just might get a merit badge for this one. Fun times were had by all - great meals of hot dogs and cheetos, a strenous hike [for everyone!], trying to keep these two quiet at the camp site and collecting shells and little crabs at the beach. Sorry I missed it - but there will be more.

Happy Red, White and Blue

It is WILD out there

We love going to the wild animal park! It is just crazy fun! AND we still have the bison slobber on our car to prove how much fun it is!


Take a look at the Rhino and at the toe nails on this bear! This bear also waves to you when you drive by ...



I love how McKaden looks like she always has a Bison in her car window.


An here is Daddy feeding the local Yak - did you know they like bread??

a LOT of little Monkeys

The kids are blessed to have so many great friends. This summer they have had time with a lot of them. The following shows some of the good times - like night at the beach with our small group families, Deek and Janna came and spent a few nights with us and we got to see Hudson and Ravenna when we went to Spokane. Look closely at these and you will see why we call them our little monkeys.
