Some events of note

Caylie lost her first tooth!  After having waited SO long, she finally got a visit from the Toothfairy. 

Daddy installed a tire swing in the backyard.  The kids already have several different favourite swing types, including "Around the World," "Tick-tock," and "Lollipop"

Summer Adventures

Aside from camping (and frequently while camping) we have done lots of fun things this summer! 

Ready for the fun to begin

We met my longtime crush, Garfield!

Bumper cars

Gonna getcha!

Caylie's first driving experience - Daddy seems completely at ease with a 5 year old at the wheel.
We took a trip to Idaho and visited Coeur d'Alene and Silverwood as well as Spokane.  Silverwood was a blast, and the kids loved it.  We have successfully scratched our adventure park itch for now and maybe Disneyland can wait another few years.

Go team go!

Revy is checking out the ducks

Pony Ride!

This one's name was Tinkerbell

Caylie loved her pony.

The kids thought Nana would love this Heron!

Camping

Yes, we have acquired a trailer.  We are now THAT family.  The story of how we bought and how Kent picked up the trailer is an epic adventure for another time.  For now, please enjoy some pics of us camping with the trailer this summer:

The Kettle River 

We have taken the trailer to Rock Creek, Post Falls ID, Idleback Lake, and Camp Boyle (Summerland).  So far so good!
