Fire Works

After Dinner we went to Sabrina's for their annual fireworks display.

Sabrina helps Aiden light his fireworks.

Riley was in charge of most of the fireworks.

Aiden shares poppers with Olivia.

The poppers spieled so the kids decided a little popper dance worked well to make them pop.

Everyone enjoyed the sparklers.

Jared brought his motorcycle and Marcus decided to try on the helmet.

Jared and Tavein enjoyed watching the kids. It won't be too long and they will have a little one to share fireworks with.


Watching the fireworks from a safe location.

Aiden shows off the last, big fireworks. It was very pretty when fired.

After this we were on our way to Terry and Bruce's hotel to watch the big city fireworks.

It was a great weekend. Lots of food, friends, family, and fun.

Giant Springs

Another trip was to Giant Springs We visited the fish hatchery were the kid got to feet the rainbow trout.

We took a picture with Taylor, Marcus, Olivia, and Emma.

Tracie and Marc pose on the bridge that over looks the Springs

Papa and Popi come back from exporing.

The kids took some time to play on the play equipment.

Trip to Ryan Dam

We took Terry and Bruce to Ryan Dam. The dam is open fully because of all the rain that we have been getting and now that tie weather has warmed up we are getting run off from the melting snow.

To get to the island you have to cross a bridge.

Taylor and Tavein pose for a picture with the dam in the background.

This is what Lewis and Clark saw when the passed through here on their way to the Pacific Ocean. There are a total of five of these dams.

Taylor and Olivia pose on the rocks along the trail going to the dam.

The day was hot and Olivia found a way to cool off.

Back across the bridge and on to another dam.

This is the Black Eagle Dam.

4th Week End Continues

Family gatherings would not be complete without gathering around the table. At one point we had 16 around the table. I think the table must have measured 18 feet in length. What a great time we have sharing meals.

Riley even provided us with music.

Tracie and the kids even found time to sunbath and play in the pool. When they weren't in the pool the kids joined their dad in the hot tub.
