Water Baby!

Cassidy and I went to visit the new water park that they built here in town. Cassidy loved it! She could not stay in one place and everywhere that she went was at full speed. She was definitely scaring me every other minute because she is not very good at that running thing yet. I didn't have the heart to stop her though because she was having too much fun.

Blue Angels

We had our air show this week and we were right under the flight path of the Blue Angels. We spent both days of the air show sitting on the porch and on the back deck watching the planes fly right over our house.

Cassidy did not like the jets. She would start screaming every time the Blue Angels would fly over but she did like the the fact that Ryan came over to visit and he brought her favorite doggie, Hara, over to play.

Glacier Park

On the second week of Ken & Merry's visit we took a trip up to Glacier Park. I think that Glacier is the most amazing place that I have ever been to. Every time we visit I am stunned by the mountain views and the lakes and water falls that we hike to.

This trip we stayed at the Hidden Moose Lodge in Whitefish for the first night. Dave & I found this lodge on our honeymoon and we keep coming back to it every time that we are in the area. We have taken Merry and Ken there before so they love the place almost as much as we do.

We spent the next day going through the park on the Going to the Sun Road. I can't imagine that there is another road that is this amazing. I always spend half the time holding on because the mountain drops off at the edge of the road. On the second night we stayed in the park at the Many Glacier Lodge. this is the first time that we have stayed in the park and it was really a great place to stay. The lodge was built in 1915 on the edge of Swiftcurrent Lake and has the most wonderful views of the lake and mountains.

We took a hike back to Avalanche Lake and we took a boat ride across Swiftcurrent Lake so that we could hike back to Iceberg Lake. I can't believe that we have been to Glacier so many times and we never realized that some of these lakes were here.


Ken, Merry and Jerry will be leaving at the end of the week and we will be very sorry to see them leave. Merry has already started planning her next trip out here some time in October. (Yeah!)

More Visitors! Yeah!

Merry, Ken and Geneva flew in to stay for a few weeks to play and to build us a new deck. Yeah!!!! We have had a great first week and the deck is amazing. Merry and Ken squeezed in the time for a little golfing.

On the 4th of July we took a family trip out to Hyalite. Tony's son Jerry took a ton of family pictures but I'm still working on getting copies of them. We spent the evening in the driveway watching fireworks shows from all over the valley. Cassidy only lasted for the first 15 minutes or so but she seemed to get a big kick out of them.
