We had another fun annual trip to Peter's Resort with Dave and Mary's families. As always, lots of laughs, food and fun. It is always fun to see how each year the kids play together and grow up. David loved playing on the beach and being outside. Mikko liked Mommy Time and playing with Leah's kitchen.
Thanks to Dave and Mary for a fun weekend - can't wait til next year.

Weekend at the Shack

Grandpa working on the kids' playhouse.

David in front of the playhouse.


On the way to the Shack we stopped at a restaurant that had a hunting game. David is hooked.


I got an 8 mile walk in. It was great because Damon and David kept keeping tabs on me by driving by on the 4 wheeler. At one point, David wanted to walk with me!

Grandpa and David checking on my progress.


Grandpa and David had a "picnic" on the bridge. David "planted" this tree. One of the highlights of the weekend was that Grandpa showed David how to throw a stick into the river on side of the bridge,then they'd run to the other side to watch it float downstream.


Beautiful ladyslippers starting to bloom.


The trees Grandma Opal planted long ago.

David feeding the deer - a favorite activity at the shack.

Jimmy and Foxy were very excited to see us after a week away.


David and Damon checking out the high river.

Happy Father's Day

We stopped at the Mine View Scenic Area for a picnic on our way home from the Shack today. Look at those BIG tires!
Look how small they are next to the tires!

Jimmy was completely panicked that he was left in the car.


Daddy and Mikko looking at the Mine.

David's turn.


We gave Daddy his Father's Day present during our picnic. A Bose IPod sound system.

Before we left the shack we attempted to get a picture of all the guys. It was pretty tough with all the mosquitos in the morning though.
