Maddie Rides!!!!!

In only a few days, Emil has taught Maddie some of the finer points of bike riding... which side to get on from, how to start off, how to turn the corner and how to stop.


Here she starts off with lots of confidence now, instead of the " I can't do it" attitude...

Returning back home,giving a little brake...

Proud as a peacock...She can ride a bike all by herself now!
Way to go Maddie!

Busy Days...

Maddie and Kaleigh, making peanut butter cookies last night...Yum! We made banana chip muffins just before that..Maddie's favourite!

Caitlyn cut and styled Kaleigh's hair tonight . She used the flat-iron to smooth it all out...Looks beautiful now!
Cait coloured my hair, and trimmed it up, so I feel like a new woman! Ha-ha!
Did it storm out last night in your neck of the woods? We had ferocious winds that scattered all of our beach floaty toys, across the lawns of our neighbours. In the middle of the night, we had to get up and take down our canopy and lock up the hot-tub. The winds must have been gusting to 75KPH! Shortly thereafter, the rain started and then the power went out...how lovely. I thought Kaleigh would be knocking at the front door! She endured the storm jsut fine and little Maddie, never heard a thing!
tonight it has been raining for most of the evening... Ok...enough of the weather report and time for bed... Love ya all...thanks for keeping in touch! I'll catcfh up with everyone in the fall!

Pilot Bay outing...

The view as you leave Pilot BAy

Many boats were moored up to the numerous buoys available in Pilot BAy

A latecomer, looking for a berth...


Heading south east, following the railroad tracks

The train trestles...built in 1935

Nothing like a game of crib to pass the time

Finally a dip in the bay...it was under ten feet deep here

Kaleigh bobbed along without a lifejacket...listening to her ipod in its water -proof case...that Auntie Annette bought her



Takingthe beauty all in during our boat ride down the lake today

Checking out the train trestles

Don't know where the smoke was originating from, but it was pretty hazy. Sometimes the Idaho farmers burn their fields and smoke us out.

We anchored out in Pilot BAy and enjoyed the playful suckers that surrounded the boat...and some people that we met also!
The day ended witha bonfire on the beach ,toasting marshmellows and making schmores. How perfect was that? Both us, and our sweet grandaughters, had a great summer day...one to make memories from.
