Side Garden

Just wanted to share some pictures of the beautiful flowers that are growing right off our deck.  I hope Jim is following the blog cause he would love these!!

Last night with the Newburgers

Well last night was our last night with the Newburger clan.  We loved having them here with us!  The house is WAY TOO QUIET!!  Our next visitors aren't coming until August so if anyone wants to head this way this month just give a shout.  If we like you we will say "come on!"!!  :-)  Our last night we grilled burgers and the kids mustered up a game of kick ball.  The dogs in the mix are Logan, Basil and Bridger who are headed to Telluride with their people.  The neighborhood cats are not sad to see them go...we've already had 2 feline visitors since their departure!

Logan

Bridger

I had to take 3 of these cause Bronson wouldn't stop talking!  If you can believe it he was calling Christian FAT!  Seriously?  Christian?

Sophia, Logan and Grace Enjoying NC!!

Clearly Grace is having an amazing time in NC with the Lewis/Stouse Family!  They are so wonderful to be taking such great care of our girl.  It won't be long before they head off for their road trip that will end in Keeseville, NY where Grace and So are going to camp, Willow Hill Farm.  They are going to have a blast!

Jenny Lake Hike

On Thursday the kids had swim practice and on the way back had a moose sighting!  It is so funny how everyone stops on the side of the road to take pictures, but of course so did Christian and the kids. This moose hung out in the same spot all day.  It was still there when we drove by to go to dinner at 7:30 (our first night out with no kids!!).  According to Chopper (whose daughter, Megan, babysit and was awesome) they are quite sedentary during the day and move around mostly at night.  I was worried it was sick, but apparently not.  Look at his rack.  Pretty impressive.

Bronson and I got a chance to say hello to Beau Higgins and his family as they moved through the area on their way to an eventual permanent stop in NC.  They have quite the road trip happening.  You can keep up with him on his FB page.

This was a busy day as June, Christian and all the kids took a long hike by Jenny Lake.  They hiked up to Hidden Falls and then Inspiration Point.  We didn't fail on the pictures this time!  See below...There are lots so make sure you scroll to the bottom!
