Summer Travels

I tell you what...we have had some of the worst summer weather here in Portland this summer. So we had to get the heck outta dodge to find some good weather. We ended up in Island Park, ID. Henry's Lake to be exact. Mike's favorite place on earth. Here's one of the reasons why...

Besides being absolutely gorgeous up here, the fishin' also rocks.  Here's a sweet 3 lb. Brookie Mike caught.  We went fishing together one day for a couple hours.  The tally ended up being:  Kim - 5 fish.  Mike - 3 fish.  Yep, I beat him.  Don't tell him I told y'all.

Chase didn't quite know what to think of the fish.

We took a day trip up to Virginia City, MT and took a tour by stagecoach.  I can't believe riding in those things was such a luxury.  That thing went bumpity, bump, bump, all through the town.  But it was fun to have the experience!

We went to this museum in Virginia City that had all these interesting factoids, antiques, and these crazy lambs.  This lamb had one head and two bodies.  Veird!  The beautiful model there is my niece, Giada.  Isn't she gorgeous?  Guess how old she is.  Come on, guess.... I bet you're wrong.  She's only 11!!!!

We went on a walk with all the kids and this little dog and Chase rode together the whole way.  They both loved it.  Dog truly is a kids best friend especially when they both get to ride in the stroller.

 

Going out on the town to see Home School Musical at Macks Inn Dinner Theater.  Hilarious show!  One of the funniest I've seen in a long time.

 

Grandma taught Kira how to spray whipped cream into her mouth straight from the can. 

Ahhh yeah!!!  Summer, summer, summer time!  Lovin' it!
