Salmon Trip

For the last Three summers Elizabeth and I Have planned trip to go to Salmon. It has been a lot of fun. Dad took us the first year and showed us all the sites. The first year, we stayed in a hotel, well some of us did. Elizabeth and dad shared a room and he snored so loud that half way thru the night Elizabeth took her sleeping bag and went and slept in her pickup. But the last 2 years we have both had camp trailers. So we have been able to stay in some fun different spots.

Here we are on our way up to Meadow Lake. Matthews Family except Madysen. She is on my lap.

Boone In his summer shorts and Playing in the Snow.

It is Beautiful up there. I guess it used to be a glacier. And I have to put the picture of the flower on. I take pictures of flowers, which I inherited from my mother and after looking at Grandma Parks pictures not to long ago... My mom Inherited it from her mom.

Canning Beans

Now that the girls are back in school. I just have the boys at home. I was canning beans and they wanted to help. They helped all the way from snapping the beans to putting them in the jars. Sometimes it is easier to do things without the kids help and sometimes, just sometimes it is easier to let them help so that they will stop begging. Braxton and Boone had a ton of fun.
