Karissa enjoyed a trip with Homers and Carol and Tiffy to Montpelier and Bear Lake. She had a ton of fun and going with out her brothers was pretty cool she says.
We just love the evenings. The kids have been having very late nights because it not dark until 10ish. They love playing Red Rover when the next door neighbor kids come and play. It is hard playing with only 5 but it doesn't stop them. Growing up in Idaho I loved the evenings. I think that its the best time to play.
The 4th we hung out and had a little show.
The 5th is Kyle's Birthday and He was very tired and so it was very low key. He asked for a castle cake that had shinning armors in it.
How Colby got the guitar for the photo op I'll never know.
There are some really fun park that we love. Settlers Park is one of them.
We enjoyed a picnic at Deborah and Allen's house with family the other evening. 
Sometimes we are not on our game and we let some zucchini get to big. So what do you do with them? We make boats.
The kids love horse back riding when ever they get a chance they are game. They are just getting ready for the rodeo this weekend. They did really good riding all alone. Saturn was also a very good horse.
I'm sorry that there is a ton on this posting. And I haven't even made a list of all the books that I have read so far this summer.
Colby can't wait to be 10 so he can salmon fish all by his self. Brian had told him that he would buy Colby salmon gear when he is 10. So the next day Colby said "Dad can you buy Karissa the gear when she is 10 so I can borrow it when I'm 8." We had to laugh. 
Kade is growing right up. 
We are really enjoying Grandma & Grandpa's garden. Fresh peas and snow peas, zuccini, raspberries, boysenberries, and those are just my faves.
Before Brian went back home we spent a few days in Sun Valley. The kids love fishing in Penny Lake.
