This and That

So glad we finally have summer. It's been a cold and rainy spring and we're so ready for sun! School is out and that means the grandkids can come for visits and stay with grandma and grandpa for a few days at a time. Haddi and Mia came and we did some fun things.

There's a strange little geyser-like spring in Alexander reservoir that we visited one day with Val and Megan's family.


Then there was our 2nd annual trek to CJ Strike Reservoir for three days for crappie fishing. The fish didn't cooperate quite as well as the guys had hoped, but a total of about 140 fish were brought home and put in the freezer. (Great for fish tacos!) I took a book to finish ("Alecia," so good) and quilt squares to cut out. The women had fun exploring and visiting as well.

On my birthday, we met the kids at Heise for a picnic.

The South Fork was running very fast and high...as you can see we were holding tight to the little ones! We also went to see the parking lot at Kelly Canyon where the spring runoff carved a huge crater. Very awesome to see the powers of nature.

And just a little footnote to our kids and friends that are interested....this is the progress on the house finishing project.
