We the kids and I are fulling the remaining summer days (only 1 more week til school starts again) with as much fun (and work) as possible. Scott's job (s) have been a bit demanding of late with some big restructuring at the top of Orabrush,, making a lot more work for him. Combined with a major remodeling project, he has been fairly busy. The picture below is the finished product of the remodel, new hardwood flooring in Vera Lyn's kitchen area to replace well worn linoleum.
The past week was also very bitter sweet for Cam. he was at his first Scout camp, up in WY by Yellowstone. He loved it, especially the skits and activities. He did wilderness survival, swimming, boating, shooting, hiking, etc. He earned three merit badges and said the place was stunningly remote and beautiful. The bitter was he missed out on some fun family activities, described below, that feel during that same week.
We did an unplanned Lagoon (amusement park) trip with Vera Lyn and her kids. It was a lot of fun, however, as shown in the first pic below, it got cold after being soaked to the bone on the third raft ride in a row and wet cloths and shoes the rest of the night.

Kaylie finally got busted.
Lauren and Vera Lyn.
Friday we, our Family without Cam and Vera Lyn and her 3 kids, went boating with some friends at their cabin in Bear Lake. That was so fun. Early Saturday morning Dad got up and did a 2 mile open water swim, it was perfect. We then left Bear Lake and headed to Lava Hot Springs in Idaho for a family reunion with Vera Lyn's siblings. He had a fun BBQ and then a great time in all the pools and on the water slides. Kyler was super brave, he went down some big steep slides and even jumped off the 5 meter diving platform. Tailyn and Lauren proved they had guts by jumping off the 7 meter platform as well. But only Kenyan manned up to jump with Dad off the 10 meter one. Cam of course would have loved it all, but he missed it and we missed him.
