Ride to Deep Lake

This past month has been a great and fun month. Starting in Washington State, on vacation with our son Chris and his wife Jessica. The first part of July Chris can down and spent a few days and the Jessica flew down on Thursday, spend the rest of the weekend with us.
This trip was with Chris and Jessica riding 4 wheelers up on Cove Mountain, to Deep Lake. It was a great dusty ride. We road around the lake and stop and had a cold drink.
As you can see behind Steve and Me the Lake. We spend alot of your free time in the mountains around us. Either with family or Steve and I will jump on our bikes and just go for the day. We really enjoy the Beauty that we have around us.

We have had a great week with our while family being with us, that we took this opportunity to take some family photos and want to share with your all of you. We were so happy when Chris told us that Jessica was taking a couple days off from work and was flying in on Wednesday night. Chris and I went for a late ride to the Salt Lake Airport, Jess arrived in at 10:30 pm.
Lets start on the back row with Rebecca then Ivy, Jessica and Tage. then all the boys starting on the left is Cason, Paul then Bart and Chris and Jack the dog and little Vanna out in front pouting.
Vanna and Tage are the children of Ivy and Bart. Cason the little man on bottom belongs to Paul and Becca. Steve and I have said many times, where would our lives be if Steve hadn't come to town and needed his nightly mike, shopping at Safeway's and meeting like we did. 27 years later and wow what a Wonderful Family we have. BUT ! ! ! ! ! They all know we are still waiting for more grand kids

Honor Day

This is the day that they Honored the men and woman that went to war in Iraq over 4000 left the same time Chris did, all from Fort Lewis Washington and sadly they lost 57 members out of their group.. Chirs is the one facing side ways as the troops march up to meet him.
After the troops were all in formation they called all of their wounded to come out from the bleachers and stand with them.... What a sight that was, very touching and heart warming to watch those soldiers to walk out and even some in wheel chair as they joined there companies... as you can see there are a few that is not in military dress, they had chairs ready for those that couldn't stand the hour program.

Day at the golf course

Steve and I just got home from Fort Lewis Washington. We went to visit Chris and Jess and while we were there we went down town Tacoma and drove around, I couldn't believe how green and lush everything was, we past the water front and I was surprised that it didn't smell like the ocean, it didn't smell salty. We did have a day at the Golf course , as you can see we had a great time.

Steve spent most of the time in the rough looking for his ball. Chris had his fair share of mulligans that day. I'm not sure how many balls were lost that day.

This is Chris waiting for the others to finish their puts. No holes in one this day but a whole lots of practice swings and maybe even a few bent irons
Jessica had a great day, she was so good on this hole that she took a 5 while for Chris to decided what he was going to do... and ... as for me, I know that I'm no golfer so I was the designated driver... that is my cart I was in charge of and I was also the picture taker for the day, that is why no picture of me in the cart...
