Hope everyone is well. We are just back from our annual camping trip to Ballard with Scotts family. Weather good, Mosquitos not quite as ferocious which I am hoping was due to me spraying listerine around camp to keep the mosquitos at bay, an Internet tip given to me by Karen ( Scotts mom)




So first up, the boys in 4 wheeling heaven!


Do you see that Cade actually gets air!! Intentional worked on over and over again to perfect.


Braeden no hands......well what else do you do when you are not quite strong enough to make the bike jump :)





A little close upon their helmeted heads





Then the after ride dirty, tired but happy faces!


This is my view of camp from where I sat to watch the boys ride.


Then my view from my chair once I was able to return to camp


Cade then took over the camera. Yes I am drinking wine from a glass. I don't care if I am camping.....it's a sin to drink red wine from a plastic or tin cup!!!!!


Papa, Bill with trusted best friend Maggie who unfortunately in her old age, she is turning 13, is losing her hearing. They are the perfect pair :) For those of you who don't know my father in law, he has the privilege of being able to move his hearing aids when the grandkids get too loud ;)














Some views Cade took. The top 3 I thought were quite artistic


Uncle Vic with Cade, Braeden and Lincoln. Braeden Took quite the shine to Uncle Vic and really enjoyed planning and executing lizard hunts several times throughout the vacation.


Then a wee glance of Davis behind his brother. Unfortunately the night I had the camera out Davis was too busy to make it into the photos :(


Holly enjoyed the non stop freedom. She ran with every 4 wheeler that took off from camp. By the last 2 days of camp she had tired herself out and when I took her for a run, she abandoned me at mile 1.5 of 4. Took herself back to camp!!! Her first day home she slept nearly all day!


And last but not least :) my shaggy mountain man hubby ;) all clean shaven now though for back to work.

So that's it is a nutshell. I have got to tell you all how much I love my iPad and how quick it downloads photos and transfers to my blog. Awesome!!!!!!!!

And thank you Kelly for the running book. I haven't read too much yet but have completely inhaled and absorbed every written word so far and practiced technique at camp.I look forward to trying half strength flat cola and smiling at every mile marker on my next long run :)

Love to all
