priest pics...sorry for the delay :)

i chose to take a short nap underneath the daybed before we hit the road to spokane! i was a pretty good boy for our car ride! "cheese"!

floating in grandma barge's tub~ jack & i discussing our first mission~ the lake house~ (not too shabby, eh?)

there was a custum horseshoe pit also! the otherside, unfortunatley sported the husky logo!! (oh my!) grandma in the boat maybe with charlie? & jack getting a golf lesson? ahoy! just call me "captain"~

annabelle pulling charlie~ daddy hunting huckleberries~apparently it was a bumper crop year, but they were pretty picked through by the time we got to the plants! grandpa & daddy :) annabelle & mommy on the floaty. kevin, patrick, & uncle eric golfing~did you ever come up with a name for the game (water put? liquid put?) daddy or eric? they had three rings made of noodles floating on the water for the holes! annabelle pulling aunt nancy!! such a hoot!annabelle in mommy's hat (from GG actually!) daddy giving me a putting lesson~ a little shot of a lot of people! who's on the tube behind the boat? daddy, jack, & i on the dock, uncle ryan fielding the balls~

that's a glowstick/necklace i'm wearing & a marshmellow for smores ;)

so..the bees were plentiful! this is a turkey carcass! properly rigged to attract the bees -away from us! it was incredibly successful..even though a few of us still got stung! i got one right in my temple!! OUCH! daddy got one behind the calf, annabelle stepped on one (it even got stuck in her foot!). grandpa was stung twice. (karma i guess? for rigging the bait!)

after an afternoon maybe? not sure how long this went before being emptied!

we came across an indian chief in the woods~

charlie is there behind jack..tried to get a good pic of the two of them in the sunset..maybe next year right?!

whew!! hard playing at the lake!

annabelle took this shot ~!! nice work cuz! the storms roll in!! mommy was granted a wee thunderstorm before having to leave early!! thanks for that! ;)two things here...I went around stealing everyone's M&M's from the trail mix!! (thank you very much for turning your backs ;) and..see my fancy drink? we got virgin drinks in fancy cups! (don't worry, they're plastic!) mommy even got to drink out of them !! (maybe next year mom you can consume a real drink!
