Fun times in the summer

 David was washing the car... so Maci wanted to wash her mode of transportation too.

Enjoying the summer rain. 

  

This summer we made a few things for the house.  This is a toy box that turned out to be much bigger than planned.  Good news: the toys are hidden!

 

 Every time we had sandwiches for lunch, Aleck would go to the door and look out while eating.

 

 

 

 A day in the sun with the cousins.

 

 

 

 I sold their crib sets this summer and wanted a picture. 

 

 Maci wanted to sleep in our room one night.  She made her bed and all of her friends' beds too.

 

 These were our other projects.  David's was an old dresser and mine was an end table. I think both turned out so well.   

 I even made the pillow.  My first ever pillow that I have made myself.

Summer Camping

At the end of June, we went camping at the Red Lodge KOA with my parents and my brother and SIL.

  Most of us had never been over the Bear Tooth Mountains.  It is SO worth the drive! At the top, there was a scenic point where a lot of fat chipmunks live.  They ate out of your hand and one even jumped on my knee as I was squatting down.  Then he went up my arm, looking for peanuts.  Maci was a bit scared at first but then thought it was very fun.

 I mean look at those fat cheeks!!!

 These are a couple pictures of our scenery.  Pretty awesome! 

 Even in late June, there was a ton of snow.  What Maci is standing in front of was plowed from the road; a snow wall.

 We also visited Yellowstone, one of our favorite places on earth. We saw a brown bear and a black bear! We rarely see bears at all and were very lucky to see two in one day. 

 Then a week later, we went up to the Paradise Valley to camp there with the folks. Our main goal was to catch something while trying to fish. 

 Well, at least we had fun...

  Then on the last day and at the last minute, mom caught a fish. 

 Saying goodbye and hello to a nap.
