Slip and Slide

While we were visiting my parents, my dad rounded up a gigantic slip and slide.  He found used vinyl signs, Dave and Nate nailed the sign to the grass and we added water and Joy dish soap.  Everyone had a complete blast!  

My mom had the great idea of retrieving the winter sleds out of hibernation.  They worked perfectly.

Grandpa taking a ride on the wild side!

Avery had a personal mission to beat Grandpa down every time.  Of course she did most of the time!

I LOVE this picture.  Grandpa about ran Avery over, but she still beat him down the slide!

Avery recovering after the collision!

My brother Nate with the two little boys on the sled!

Avery had grass in places that I didn't know grass could exist!

At the end of the day we had an amazing hail and thunderstorm.  I love the late afternoon thunderstorms in Kalispell!  We were on the lake and pulled the boat out in the nick of time!  Dave and I were drenched by the time we pulled out of Foys Lake.

Glacier National Park

We took these Jammer buses up the "Going to the Sun Road" in Glacier. The kids loved the open roof and not wearing seatbelts. The views were spectacular.

The family at the top of Logan Pass.

A beautiful view of the Garden Wall.

There is quite a bit of construction on the road since there are only about 3 months that there is not any snow, so we waited a twice for about 20 minutes each. Aurora and Myah put their heads through the open roof and gave me a big smile!

Cooper was in a super kissable mood and was giving us all kisses, but the most came my way!

Throwing rocks! A favorite pass time of my one year old.

Myah in her groove in the kayak at Lake McDonald.

More rock time for Cooper.

A spectacular thunderstorm was quicly approaching. The girls on the shore of the lake right before we had to run for it!

Lake Billy Chinook

A perfect few days camping at Lake Billy Chinook! Dave picked up a new tube. Aurora loved it, Myah flew off about 5 times and didn't like it so much! We were all perfectly flithly dirty at the end of the three days.

Seattle Marathon

I need some serious improvement on my blogging skills! I thought I would just keep it simple and post pictures with very little verbage! I might possibly post more frequently if I follow those guidelines! We had a great time in Seattle and the marathon was amazing, long, hard, inspiring, motivating and exhausting! I felt great at the end but very ready to be done running! The gum wall was very disgusting! We are sorry Avery and my mom missed out. Thanks a million to my mom who took care of my very sick 7 year old at the hotel while I was running and allowed Dave, Carter and my other children to meet me at the end.
