Summer Shenanigans

Oh summer, how we love you! Even when you are hot, we don't complain. We simply grab an ice cold drink, sometimes with two straws.

Or we just get in the water. We are lucky to have friends with boats and floats! We spent a day at Blacktail Lake (aka Ririe Reservoir) where the kids had fun with giant tubes and life jackets in the designated swim area when they weren't on the boat.

And we fit in a day at Gem Lake, which is just a calm part of the Snake River 5 minutes from home with a pebbly "beach" and floating dock to corral the kids. There's usually a few pelicans across the way and a bald eagle that hangs out around here too.

As for indoors, we might be getting too big for Kids Town! Or at least the mini-cars...

Summer is also great for visiting people that you haven't seen in a while. There's nothing better than having your best buddy come to town and realizing that you can pick up right where you left off, even after several months' absence!

Well, maybe it's slightly better to do the catching up at a water park with lots of friends!

Exit strawberries, enter raspberries! It's always exciting to see that first red raspberry in the garden. Hopefully it will be a good crop!

One warm evening after dinner, the family got some frozen custard and wandered around the beautifully landscaped Riverwalk. Pardon the chocolate custard mustaches...

Speaking of mustaches, I think he looks quite distinguished!
