Good New's - Bad News

Good news---John will have his wife and daughters in Baltimore with him tomorrow evening..The Bad news, they won't be in Idaho anymore. I went by the house to give them hugs good-bye, I only cried a little. Baltimore in the spring, sounds like a nice time to visit.

I'm so Bad--Or ---MY BAD

Yes, I'm bad. I have been reading a few web sites that poke fun of mess ups and boo boos and I enjoy it. It all started with CAKE WRECKS, then I went to THAT WILL BUFF OUT, I shared this site with my 6 year old grandson, he loved it. He loves cars and this site is all about cars that end up inside a house, or under water, or in a sink hole. Tucker and I looked at every picture on the website. The next site is THERE I FIXED IT, I think this might me my favorite, it shows how people fix things by jerry rigging them, garden hose for a shower, duct tape makes a nice fender......Then theres AWKWARD FAMILY PHOTOS, some of the pictures are too funny, but someone in the family sent them in, so it must be okay to laugh, right? The site that makes me feel a little guilty is PEOPLE OF WALMART.....just hope my picture doesn't show up on that site.

Pumpkin Patch Weekend

Jillian--because she slept thru the pumpkin patch trip

This weekend we painted pumpkins

We fed the animals at the pumpkin patch

Pictures with the Pumpkins

Payton's first pumpkin

We went for a walk in the corn maze. I wondered if they would come and get us if we couldn't find our way out.

We followed Tucker, He was Lewis or Clark, not sure which, he would run a head and find the dead ends.

The kids walked/ ran thru the haybale maze.

We went on a hayride.

We fed the animals again.

We had a fun day----Only this is the start of our Saturday.........the pictures are completely in the wrong order. I don't know why I can't remember to put the first pics in last.........

Good News??

My son John went to Northwest Lineman College, when he left the army.

John knew he would have to leave the area to get a job. And he did, he left for Baltimore, Maryland on Friday He drove a U-haul truck, pulling his car, he got into Maryland a couple of hours ago. Nicole and the girls join him on the 15th.

I'll be fine....right?

Mountain Wedding

This weekend we are in McCall Idaho for a wedding. But we are camping in a state park, so we also get to enjoy camp fires and smore's.

Jillian's first camping trip, and campfire, she will have to wait for her first smore.

Nicole and Hadley enjoying the fire.

The next morning we walked to Payette Lake, to play in the water.

A beautiful setting for the wedding.

Kokanee

http://www.utahfishinginfo.com/utahfish/kokaneesalmon.php

Westside of Straight asked about the Kokanee.....What I know about fish could fit in a thimble. So I googled it. Kokanee is a landlocked Sockeye Salmon. The only other thing I know is... Halibut tastes great, and you can buy salmon at CostCo.

Gary used to own a hunting/fishing lodge in Canada, I think he was burnt out, because I've never seen him fish, well unless you count the time we tried to fish at one of the lakes in Mammoth CA. We got all the grandkids fishing poles, it was so crazy, the only thing we caught was a diaper and a sock....grandchildren wearing said items were not injured. I think we took the hooks off, and let them play.

Labor Day Weekend

Gary's daughter Kelly heard the Kokanee were running at Anderson Ranch Dam, so we decided to take the ATV's that directions, we haven't rode the 4 wheelers there before. It was great. We rode to the Trinity Lake Lookout. It was a beautiful ride --little scary.

Not sure if you can see the Ospry with the Kokanee in his claws.

Kelly at the Lookout.

Kelly took all the pictures, well except for this one. I forgot my camera.
I talked to Amy today about their weekend, She, Mike and the kids, plus Mike's parents went camping they went to the lookout too...only they came up from the other side, we missed them by a couple of hours.
