Activity Girls' Day Camp

Last week, my three girls and I attended a day camp for girls age 8-12 in our church.  It was held at a Boy Scout Camp up one of the canyons here. (I actually had college courses at this camp while at BYU.  I spent numerous days and nights at the camp for my camping and leadership classes in my Recreation Management Major.)   We had the largest group-30 girls!!  It was such a fun activity!  The girls got to do "boy stuff"-make rope, shoot BB guns, archery, hand carts, rafting!

K&K were somewhere out there:)

Mak was involved in this huge water fight!

All 30 day campers!  This is what girls camp will look like in 5 years, plus a few more!

9 month scans

Yesterday, Tim and I spent the morning at PCMC and Shriner's.  Tim had lab work done, a chest CT and x-rays.  And the results were great!  Blood counts are up, chest is clear and his leg is healing well!  Yay!!  I can't believe it's been 9 months since Tim has ended his treatments.  In October, it will be a year, and we get to spend an entire day at PCMC.  Tim will have to have lab work, a chest CT, x-rays, a bone scan, an EKG and meet with doctors.  Can't wait!

Tim's scan from Shriner's!  Pretty cool to see all his hardware:)

Flathead Lake 2012

We finally made it up to Flathead Lake again this year!  It was great to see the cabin and watch the 12 cousins play together.  There were a few things that needed fixing-some leaky pipes, a section of the dock, the kiddy car (ie Tim's transportation).  This year, there was 20 people at the cabin.  We had a little tent village up in the coral with 7 tents!  Here is a little slideshow of some of the highlights from the week.  Enjoy!

Chickens!

Last night, I spotted some "rare" chickens in the neighborhood.  They ran around laying eggs, showed me their tail feathers, and even chased a deer up the street while riding in a wagon!  It was crazy ;)

Laying eggs!

Just in case you are wondering what was going on-Katie and I took the cover off the trampoline that protects the springs.  It was getting hard and had tears in it.  These three took the thing apart and found these thin strips of foam.  At first they were jumping the pieces of foam on the tramp, pretending they were pieces of bacon.  Then Katie wanted to make a skirt out of the bacon.  She actually got out the duck tape and tried to tape her pieces together to make a skirt :)  Then one of them, put the pieces in their shorts and said, "Look, I'm a chicken!"  So cute and entertaining!  Gotta love kids and their imaginations! 

Boating!

This past weekend, we went boating at Deer Creek Reservoir with some neighbors!  It was nice to get out of the 100 degree heat wave we've been experiencing, but the winds were almost too much to bear.  No matter, we toughed it out and had a great day once we got our neighbors boat running and food in everyone's tummies :)  Here are some pictures from the day!
