Last Week of Summer?








Josh is playing tackle football this season.  Doesn't he look so tough? 

We had the cub scout den over to our house to make fires Thursday night.  They tried to start fires, it was complicated. 

Fat bottomed girls make the modern world go round. 

Friday morning I took a hike on Drinking Horse, isn't this view incredible?  

Saturday Josh got his trombone. He loves it, and is great at making noise with it.  My favorite  saying is "this is my loudest" and then he honks! 
This could be our last boating weekend of 2016, so we took advantage of the sunshine!  When we were in Kalispell we bought kid waterskis, and Josh decided to do the watersports trifecta.  He skied, wakeboarded, and surfed.  I was surprised, but not really, that he got up on his first try! 


Luke liked skiing.  He got up on his second try (but we think he would have gotten up on his first try if Mike would have gunned it at "hit it" instead of giving him a nice and easy start...).  He said his right leg likes to go outside the wake so he had a hard time keeping his legs underneath him. 

Ruby is not too sure about all of boating stuff.  She does not like it when her boys are out of the boat. 

Josh wakeboarded again, first time in a while, and was trying jumps!  He got some big air!

He was cutting so hard I could see him outside the tower for this artsy photo. 


Luke wakeboarded too, and he was trying jumps and grabs like he practiced at the trampoline place in Kalispell. He crashed on this one but it was big air!
Smiling Joshy! This completes the trifecta!

Nice wipeout, Joshy!

I finally started off the swim deck!  I'm surfing with dry hair, which has been a goal of mine for months. 

They're both smiling!

Boat selfies rock. 



We let Ruby go to the bathroom on shore, and after that she finally relaxed.  She kept looking out the boat for her people...just like a good watch dog. 

We put in at the silos and the water was gross!  We found clear water way up north, but this is the crap we had to put in!
Look at that chunky wake!
Look at the crud on our boat!  I keep thinking of Christmas Vacation when Clark's lights finally come on and blinds her, she falls and spills her wine and she cries "my carpet!"  I was yelling "my boat!" 

This melted my heart.  Easy like Sunday morning.  
Josh is getting ready to hunt!  He's 10 and can do the apprentice thing this year.  He still needs a blind on one eye, but he's a sharp shooter. 

Luke shot this water jug with his first shot!
