Fun with the BOAT



My sister bought a new boat this year and needless to say spent many hours driving kids around the lake! Jacob learned to water ski. Brooklyn had a fun tube ride with Jayde and Aunt Elaine, whom I think she calls Auntie Laine! Chandler is an expert tuber...it is hard to get him dumped off!!

"The Pit"

This "pit" occupied my kids time for days. These were quite the group of the engineers.

The GIRLS

Jayde, Brooklyn and Elle

Marti and Cory (Jeremy's girlfriend)

MORE Summerland FUN

Brooklyn is playing with her cousins Halle and Kyler. Jacob and his little side-kick Kyler. Grandma bought Chandler the new Harry Potter book, so for a week, until the book was finished, Chandler wasn't doing much else!



Summerland FUN

This has become an annual Summerland event...."the Kid Toss". Here are Jacob and Chandler being thrown by Aaron and Uncle Jeremy

On Our Way...

Notice the pictures from the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington...a nice sunny hot day. When we were about 20 min away from the campground, this is what we see...a beautiful double rainbow! This is what we missed...the most rain in one day since 1946!!

The Grand Coulee Dam



The dam was amazing! When went into the Visitor's Center for more than an hour. We learned that with the amount of concrete that supports the dam, you could build a sidewalk 4 inches think and 4 feet wide TWICE around the equator! Then we were back in the car, oops, I mean minivan and our way to Summerland, BC!!
