Ahhh!!!  River Day :)

A bit challenging with a 13 month old.

But he was content for a time to play...and eat...and be a spectator in the trailer his 'big playpen'.

Then he wanted to be a 'big kid' like the rest of them.

September 4

The boys made a Pop Pop Boat this week.

Moment of truth...it didn't work the way it did on the video.

But Dustin did learn to speak with an accent

like the commentator in the video....and then a bit exaggerated...

Fun times!

September 3

The kids made lunch for Rich.

Hot dog...pizza...a can of Coke...a slice of birthday cake...and some candy.

Peek-a-boo!!

No biggie though, these boys love it :)

As we were packing up on Saturday to head home,

these two discovered this nightstand.

Oh, the giggles!!

Fishing was the favorite activity of the week.

If I would have taken this picture 1 second later,

the fish was IN HIS MOUTH,

head first, alive!!

gag....

Dustin was quite excited to catch a catfish one evening.

August 28

Life on the beach.

August 27

We took a drive up to Rock Creek to see the wildfire devastation.

Very sobering to drive for miles to see the remains of lifelong dreams

of those that lived there charred, twisted, and black.

August 26

Beach time.

Blake loved the pool....even though this was as far as he would venture in :)

LOL...didn't realize the coincidence of this picture until just now...
See the sign on the fence??

August 25

It was super smoky all week in Osoyoos.

Both these pictures are taken on 'sunny' days!!

No need for sunscreen or sun hats.

Osoyoos Vacation 2015

Fishy fishy in the brook,

"Mom....I can't sleep..."

A great excuse to come and snuggle up with Mom outside.
