Klamath County Fair

We headed back to Klamath Falls for another visit this summer. All of Danny’s siblings were home. They haven’t all been together for quite some time and it was a lot of fun for everyone to be together. His Dad and his wife also came up from San Francisco and took us all to the county fair. Our family and Danny’s sisters family stayed at the Running Y. (thanks Ron and Carol :) It’s a resort in Klamath with golfing, pool, spa, horseback riding, etc. Really nice place. I wish I would have taken pictures of it. So nice, in fact, that I don’t think we’ll be staying with family again! ha,ha. The kids had a ball playing with all their cousins and swimming. What a great time!  I wish I had more pictures to share though.

Okay, this is Danny’s youngest brother and he’s probably going to kill me for putting this picture on my blog. But it is so stinking funny I had to! He just got back from attending school in Germany. Can you tell? Ladies…… he’s single! And yes, this outfit comes with the package!!!!

Sam’s Baptism

Here are some pictures from Sam’s baptism. It was such a special day. Thanks to everyone that helped make it so special. And thanks Jenne, for the awesome pictures!

Family Visit

I’m back! It has been sooooo long since I have posted anything on my blog. I think this summer has been the busiest one we’ve had yet. I just haven’t had any time to spend on the computer. So, unfortunately, now I have a ton to post!

Back on Aug. 1 was Sam’s baptism. Danny’s sister and her family came from Idaho to visit and see Sam be baptized. We hadn’t seen her family for over almost 2 years so it was really nice to have them here. Our kids were so happy to spend time with their cousins. Especially Brynn. She’s not used to having so many girls around to play with. We had so much fun with them. Thanks guys!

Riverfront Park

After two days at Silverwood we headed over to Spokane for the day. None of us had ever really been to Spokane before. We spent the day at Riverfront Park. What a beautiful place! It’s a huge park with all kinds of things to do. Train ride, the big red wagon, carnival rides, miniature golf, gondola rides, carrousel, Imax theater. So much fun! After this fun packed weekend even our kids were exhausted!

Silverwood

After the stomach flu going through our family and having to postpone our trip, we finally made it to Silverwood! We had such a blast. Normally our kids aren’t all that in to roller coasters, but since they’re getting older, and more brave, they were able to have so much more fun! All three of the boys went on the big upside down rides. I, of course, am a wimp, so Brynn and I watched from afar. Danny was so thrilled that he finally didn’t have to go on all the rides al0ne. At first Sam was a little hesitant, but I think seeing his older brothers going, he thought he’d be pretty cool if he tried it out too. I wish I could have seen his face when he went down the HUGE drop! The kids said he was screaming the entire time! hee,hee!

One of the rides there is called Panic Plunge. It’s one of those rides where they take you straight up and then drop you. Anyway, Danny wanted to go on it and talked Skyler in to joining him. Here’s some photos.

     (huh, maybe this wasn’t such a good idea?)

He was freaking out!
