Legos, Blueberries, Lakes, and Rocks (hiking)

Mason showing of some puzzle skills


We bought stand up paddle boards for an upcoming trip so we had to test them out in the house first


Mason had a Lego camp and had so much fun


The boys had a few days where they had friends come over and play video games. They enjoyed it until we had to set some new rules on timing of screens in the summer.


Kim, Mason, and Henry made it out to the blueberry farm







Nixon has been working hard at his guitar skills



Kim and the kids made it out to the river to play on the inflatable dock with some friends


There was a combined youth activity with cliff jumping at Tubbs Hill


Nixon loved it


The kids all enjoyed swimming on a warm evening


Kim and I tried out a new Mexican restaurant in Coeur d'Alene



Henry helped make some chocolate zucchini muffins





Did I mention he loved his Lego camp?



When our ward had a service auction in the winter we bid on, and won, an afternoon of boating. We did that last week and had lots of fun. We got all four kids out on tubes at the same time.



Nixon also got to wakeboard (Mason and Henry each also got to try but weren't able to get up)


Nixon also got to try surfing for the first time


Last Saturday we took the kids out hiking to Chilco Mountain, which we haven't been to in a while because it was closed because of wildfires for some time





The first point of interest is always a good spot to rest and get ready for the final climb


We made it








It was super windy at the top


After that Kim and the boys went to Art on the Green, an annual art festival in Coeur d'Alene. This vehicle was interesting.


There is always a guy who makes a giant sand castle



And activities for the kids


Mason has been working on this project daily since his birthday. He finally finished it!



Up next we will go to Kelowna for a family vacation.

Take care

  1. Looks like you had so many fun things going on! How was the Mexican restaurant? Chilco Mountain looks neat. Will have to check it out sometime when we're down there.
