Fun in August

Brooke and her family were going to Mammoth
CA for a reunion with Chris' family so Brooke
thought it would be a good opportunity to spend
some time with Amy's family.  She asked if I would
ride down with her since Chris didn't have that much
leave.  Then I would fly home and Chris would
fly down to go to Mammoth.  

 There was a blue tint in the clouds on the way down
kind of weird

The kids enjoying the hotel after a nice swim

 Smoke so heavy we couldn't see Mt Shasta until we
were right beside it

After flew home we went to Scenic Beach for our
annual campout

We had to rig the canopy so it wouldn't fall in on us
The guys went into town and bought new canopies for next year

We could actually have a fire until the last night

After Scenic Beach we headed to Idaho
to attend Michelle and Kennedy's renewal of
their wedding vows taken in January
Brooke and family came up from Mammoth to be there
and while the wedding prep was going on we
went out and enjoyed Idaho

The overlook to the Snake River Canyon

Perrine Bridge is the only man-made structure in the US to
allow BASE jumping year around without a permit

 Yikes!!

 Green parachute just below the bottom
of the bridge supports

 We saw about 5 people jump

Then on to Centennial Park to kayak

 and paddle board

 Ellie wanted to paddle

did pretty well

 and swim

Thinking about it

finally got in

Brrrrr

Pete didn't want to be outdone

 The day after the wedding we had time to go to
Shoshone Falls.  All the trips to Idaho and we'd
never been there before.  I bet it's gorgeous in the
Spring maybe even better than Niagara Falls

Then Mel and Gary hosted a family BBQ
with some pool time

 and Corn Hole championships

The little kids ate!!

Fun Time...Thanks Mel and Gary for a great weekend
