4th of July in Whitefish

The cute little place we had lunch on the drive there in Paradise Montana. We flew to Spokane and then drove to Whitefish from there. That was much better than driving all the way from Boise. Keaton does not do well on road trips!!

What we've been up to...

We have had a busy couple of weeks these first couple of July.  For the weekend of the 4th we flew up to Spokane and spent a night with my folks in Post Falls and did some catching up. The next day we hit the road and headed up to Whitefish Montana to catch up with some of Mike's College friends and their families.  We had such a wonderful time and had the best hosts!! We had some BBQ's, a parents night out (there were 7 kids under the age of 5), took in a local festival and had a pontoon boat ride. It is always tons of fun when the gang gets together, even if it was a little different this time with all of the kiddos running around! We are already looking forward to the next MSU reunion. I have some pics that I will post soon!!  This past weekend we were able to head up to McCall with our good friends Scot and Sarah and take advantage of Scot's wonderful cabin.  We had a couple mellow nights, played some cribbage (yes...we had to beat them again....but this time at least there weren't any skunks), went on a gals bike ride in Ponderosa State Park, hooked up with our friends the Hamiltons at their cabin and invaded their beach (thanks Hamiltons!!!) and ended with a great run with Sarah!! It was a perfect weekend!!

This weekend we were supposed to head to Maryhill in Washington for some camping with my High School girlfriends but canceled and instead they are heading here!!! 

Who was on kid duty?!

Mike…if you close your eyes is it hot happening?!  You have to see the bitter beer face that usually follows. I will have to get it on video one of these days.

 

Slip N Slide

The White's had the BIGGEST slip n slide I've ever seen set up at their
house. We all had a great time on it. Keaton loved it!!!
