Summertime

At the end of May Claire and I made a trip down to Utah.  We went to a college friend’s wedding, Callie’s Dad’s viewing (sad, but good to see her and her family), visited Mom and Maddie and then went out to Vernal to stay with Grammy for a few days.  We love our Grammy (GG)!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next weekend (Memorial Day) we all went up to Coeur d’Alene to visit Mark’s sister Lisa.  Neither of us had ever been that far north in Idaho.  It was beautiful.  The drive is a lot more scenic than the drive down to Utah, though a little windier.  We went for a bike ride around the lake, went up to Brad’s parents cabin on Lake Pend Orielle where Claire had her first “swimming” experience and her first s’more (that was good stuff!) and explored their now home of Sandpoint.

In June we went down to Logan for Father’s Day.  The best part was a bike ride to the park where we picnicked and played at the park.

 

In the midst of all that, we have been doing mass amounts of painting (a rental),

landscaping our yard (mostly done now),

(what nerds, laying things out with hoses, boards and newspapers)

(I even got my vegetable garden planted, though it was a little late.)

Mark had a birthday(Pool Party!),

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and Claire learned to crawl (in the grass none the less),

pull herself up, make messes (we now make sure the pantry door is fully closed, sometimes she whines as she goes by because she wants in)

and unroll toilet paper.
