The longest day.... May 30th

We had a long interesting Saturday. It all started with a ride up Sinks Canyon on the hottest day of year so far. When we reached the campground with the scary bridge, we were all ready to stretch our legs a bit. Seamus proved to be braver than sis when it came to wanting to cross the bridge. He toddled right up the steps. It took awhile for Dad to convince Tally that it wasn't scary. (The Popo Agie was screaming fast!!)

I decide that Seamus probably should not walk across by himself. He sort of agrees with me.

I agree with Tally. It was a little scary.

Look at that brown run-off water! There was so much that not all of it was going into the Sinks; some was flowing in the old river channel.

Whew... we made it.


Tally too! (Gotta love that bike helmet hair.) We crossed the bridge again and got back on the bike (and in the Chariot) and continued to ride up the canyon. After we finally made it to Bruce's, we had some sandwiches and headed back home. It was all down hill and very nice, but very fast. After we got home, we filled the turtle for some water fun.


It was crazy fun!
My beautiful bathing beauties. . .










When Seamus started to shiver, we abandoned the turtle and got ready for Tucker Green's graduation picnic. (She is their babysitter.) It was at North Park and the wind blew and blew and blew. Weird for Lander. Funny though, when we got home things were sunny and calm again.

The day ends with some watermelon. Yumm...


the best!

Grandpa, Bear Lake and Puddles

May 2009


We went to Dubois to visit Grandpa, Grammy, and Tugboat for Mother's Day.


I guess we better buy her some new boots.
Keen sandals probably aren't the best for horsey riding.

Tug didn't seem to mind though.


The next weekend we went to Bear Lake for a bike race...


Tally found the only dirt at our campsite.




Shad and Russ waiting to ride with the herd. Shad designed that logo on their jerseys. I wonder where his inspiration came from.




The herd: fifty or so riders who all crossed the finish line within 30 seconds of each other.




Tire swings are a fun


thing to play on while waiting for Dad.



For Memorial Day Weekend, we went to Cody to visit Hayley. When we got back,


there were puddles!! Whoo Hooo!!


So while Mom was putting things away inside the house,


Dad was letting Seamus and Tally go crazy in the water.
(And we wonder why they think Dad is more fun than Mom?)


Good times!
