The Lazy River would have been boring without Dad flipping everyone over once in a while.

The Lazy River reminded me of summers in the creek. I remember getting on a tub and floating for hours till Mom would whistle for us to come home. It was fun!

Vacation

We decided not to go out of town this year on vacation, so we went to a resort in Scottsdale. We all had a great time swimming and hanging out together. The slide was a big hit. Even I went down a time or two. We tried to keep everyone sunscreened, but we still ended up with some sunburn.

Ella's Birthday

MN turned five years old!!!! She wanted to decorate her own cake. There ended up being more frosting and sprinkles than cake, but it was super good!

Chipmunks

There were some very friendly chipmunks at the lake. The girls played with them for an hour. They thought they were so soft and fun to look at and feed!

Camping Trip

We took a camping trip to Black Canyon Lake. D and the girls wanted to fish. They had a good time, but didn't catch anything.

D and the girls at the Gentry Lookout. It was beautiful! We got a good look at some of the fire damage of the Rodeo/C. fire.

We think this little guy had lost his mom. He had come down to get a drink at the lake and then decided to swim across. He almost got across to our side, but decided to turn around and go back. We watched him for about an hour.

D thinks the reason that we couldn't catch any fish was due to the NOISE and the girls wanting to play in the water....more than fish. Oh well!
