Shooting Practice

On our first full morning at the Ranger Station, Rob Rowenhorst organized an outing to practice shooting guns. Brad took Brody, Colt & Ollie up there with him. 

They all had a good time and have a good respect for what these guns can do.  

 

Rest Stop

We drove down to the Ranger Station near Prineville for Labor Day weekend. We go every year and its fun for everyone. We drove half way down and stayed at a hotel in the Dalles. Then we drove the rest of the way on Friday. Brad decided to stop for some ice cream. Then he and the kids had a fun time doing some tricks. 

Hot Tub

Brad stumbled upon a "free" hot tub. So he said we would take it. We have been talking about the idea of getting one for awhile, mostly wondering if it would get used etc. Well, we have one now. But we also had to find a place for it. 

We figured out the perfect spot and then hired Papa Bob & Sean to pour the cement pad for it. 

It's mostly finished but now we have to move the hot tub.  

 We can't wait for our first hot tub party! 

Camping Flashback

A few more random pictures from Colt's camping birthday weekend.

He isn't so sure about this 10 thing....or maybe he is. 

Our trek to the river wasn't as easy this year. 

The kids made ferns to disguise themselves.   It was great for the game of Rush they played. 

Brad & Darby played Lawn Darts and Darby was so shocked by this amazing throw. 

We made some new meals over the campfire.  It was a fun experiment! 

Alki Memories

These pictures are from our summer trip to Alki. With the Hodo family. They are from Brad's phone. 

Brad & Dan joined us after work.  It was nice to finish off our day with them joining us.  The only downside was the smoky condition. 

 

Icing

Colt has been having some tight calves lately.  We think he is about to grow.  Brad will get his ice bags and wrap them up.  At least it helps him sleep better.  

Morning time

Someone took my phone and started taking pictures of Bo. Then Bo got mad that they were taking selfies. Never a dull moment around here.
