Fun in Wenatchee

 Tal and Baden loved jumping on the trampoline with Shelby!

 Shelby would lay under the tramp and the boys would lay on it and she would push them up with her feet!

 Beautiful weather as you can see - such fun!

 Kacey played in an over-the-weekend Women's basketball tournament - it was fun to see her play.

The first game she played quite a lot because they were so far ahead - the second game she played a little bit at the end because they were so far behind!  She also obtained her drivers permit on Saturday - she drives really well.

More Swimming

 Joel and Emilee up on the roof - getting courage to jump off into the water.

 Ladies first!  Way to go Em!

 Joel did it!

 Baden's googles pulled his nose up - what a cute boy!

 The swimming crew - at least on Friday when Shelby was in school - she joined them every chance she had.

Baden liked hanging onto the ladder in the shallow end of the pool.

Swimming at Fromm's Pool

 Fromm's have added a slide to their fun swimming pool.

 Heidi fixed the hose to the top of the slide - but Baden couldn't wait!

perfect summer day - in the pool!

Road Trip to Wenatchee

Sydney and her friend Erica drove from Rexburg and we got Joel and headed west.  We met Emilee and boys in Twin Falls and drove until almost midnight!  Here is tired Emilee and boys getting breakfast at the Fromm's kitchen the next morning. 

 We went to a fun park on the Columbia river - Joel and Grandpa went back and fished for a while - it was free fishing day!  The boys loved throwing rocks in the water.  It was a beautiful day and we had a blast.

 We found an Elderberry tree and Talus loved them!  He picked and picked and ate and ate!

Baden liked them also - just not as much as Talus.

Joel and Annabelle at Ross Park

We were delighted to take Joel and Annabelle to Ross Park - notice the rock chucks in the background - big and fat!

Tried to get closer to get the fat rock chucks and they ran away!

Fun climbing rocks in the park - Joel and Anna knew about them and were happy to show us.

Fun to have them climb up Mother Nature's climbing wall!

Front of the rock where the kids slide down!

Anna at the bottom - she slid so fast I could hardly get a picture!

Joel at the same place - really fun afternoon!

New Kittens

 Here is Mortensen's Smoky cat - and her three new kittens - Kate made a birth box for her under the stairs ... showed it to her a couple of times and smart cat that she is, she used it.

 Joel with the bandage on his finger and showing us the snake skin he found at the state park they went camping last Friday.  Joel had gone there on a field trip with his school and was showing his family were he found a live snake in the rocks - lo and behold at the same place there was a whole snake skin!

Kind of blurry but there's the snake's old skin.

Kate at ISU

 This is Kate's building at Idaho State University - we were able to visit on Tuesday morning.

 Kate's cubby in the Graduate Room - Joel being weird!

 The "K" on the wall was being thrown out from remodeling the pre-school room - one of Kate's friend took it and put it on the wall.

Door to the graduate room - Dad got a kick out of this.
