This squirrel walked toward us on the branch and then just laid down for the picture.

Ashton, ID to Flagg Ranch, WY

August 4th Scott and I traveled to the Tetons via Ashton, ID to Flagg Ranch, WY. What an absolutely beautiful drive!! It is a dirt road and it takes about 1 1/2 hours to drive the 35 miles. We just took our time and were well rewarded with gorgeous scenery.

Conner is ready for summer!

Conner is very ready for summer. Last week it was very rainy here but he insisted that he wanted to go swimming. Well, Kristin didn't get him dressed the way he wanted or as quickly
as he wanted so he decided to do it himself. He put his swimming shorts on over his camo pj's. He was ready to go. Unfortunately, we still did not go swimming but he was happy!

May piano recital

This past Saturday Jason, Erin, and Tyler had their final piano recital for this year. Jason played a piece from the Lord of the Rings and The Imperial March. Erin played a piece from her book and a piece from Harry Potter. Tyler played Ode to Joy. They did such a great job. They have the summer off and will resume lessons when school starts in the fall.

Father's & Son's campout

Scott, Jason, Tyler & Conner went to the Father's & Son's campout at Black Canyon Reservoir. They had a fun time throwing rocks in the water (they said it was too cold to actually get into the water for very long), playing in the fire, and sleeping under the stars. Kristin & Erin really enjoy this weekend because it is the girls weekend and they eat out, or go to a movie, or something else that they enjoy. So, it works out for everyone.

Fun at the park

Conner and Kristin spent some time at a local park and they had a great time.

We were having the missionaries over for dinner one evening and had made a cake for the occasion. Conner was not about to wait so he helped himself. Kristin was a little frustrated to say the least but it tasted great and we enjoyed a wonderful meal and evening with the Elders.
