Because we packed in we ate well.  We even ate a few Dutch Oven meals.

Main Lake at lakes of the rough.  It is high enough to still have snow.

EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT

Hunter and his good friend Joel Neves made the front page of the Basin Paper.  They both decided that they wanted to ride their bikes through the parade.  Hunter asked me if I could tape a bucket on his bike so he could throw candy while he drove.  I figured he would wreck, but the did great.  We always knew we had a star living at our house.

Summer School

This summer I signed up for summer school.  I was incharge of enrichment with a curriculum called "Camp Invention".  It is a fun program that the students seem to love.  I guess if I have to go to school in the summer then it helps to have fun.

A few summer Projects

This summer in my free time I have been doing a few projects for people in the community. 

 This is a glorified dog house that I built for Kay Neves. It  has kennels built inside for 8 dogs and doors so they can go out in runs for the outside.

 Side View

 This is a before and after of an addition I sided.  After this I sided one small shed, and am currently siding a house.

In addition to doing siding I painted my first house. 

Wind Storm

 A huge pine tree on the church lawn blew down.

Grammas Cafe had a tree blow down and split it in half.  It did not go all the way through the building, but went about 1/2 way through.

The house next to the Cafe had a tree fall within feet of it.  The family of 4 was home at the time.

Roughing It

Hunter decided that we were not getting enough camping in this summer so we set up the tent on the tramp and slept out.  It was really rough.  Actually about 3:00 a.m. I woke up freezing, with Hunter basicly laying on top of me. I got a sleeping bag and put it below us and we slept great the rest of the night.  Trig only lasted about 5 minutes before he decided to join mom.
