This year we went to Spokane and stayed with Shane's brother Ricky and his wife Tanya. Then we went on a beautiful camping trip in Northern Idaho. The camping trip was relaxing and tramatic all at the same time. We sat on the dock by our camp site and fished. I think everyone caught fish which was fun to watch.
Shane caught the biggest one which was a pike. It's probably still sitting in Ricky's freezer because no one wanted to eat it.
The last night of the camping trip there was a horrible storm that lightning and thundered all night long. In fact, when we woke up everything so soaking wet. We had puddles all over in our brand new tent and same with Ricky and Tanya's. Needless to say, we took the tent back to Costco to get our money back.
Everyone pitched in to shove soaking wet gear into our cars and we headed back to Spokane to get in a dry environment.
Monday was the last full day that we were going to be with Shane's family and we had planned on going to Silverwood Theme Park but it was still pouring outside so we went to the movie theatre and watched Toy Story 3 in 3D. It was fun!
This summer has been a blast. The kids and Shane and I went on our annual camping trip in Cascade Idaho. It was beautiful! The spot we go to has a private lake that is just gorgeous. It is so nice to get away from the cell phones, TVs, etc. at least once a year. 
I don't know how they do it, but it seems like the minute the kids step out of the car they are instantly black from being so dirty. This makes me crazy! I think I need a camp trailer so that I can give the kids a bath each night. But for now we are hard core tent campers.

see the lead singer of Journey because he is a little Asian rocker from the Philippians. The rest of the band is still old school looking. It was fun though!
