Causey Reservoir

It was a very rainy and stormy day, but we took the kayaks up to Causey Reservoir one Saturday afternoon.  At one point it was hailing so hard it made the water look like it was boiling.  We finally gave up and left.  We stopped at a place in the valley for raspberry shakes.  All in all, not a bad afternoon.

Birthdays.

We had a dinner and birthday celebration for all three of us - Cody, me and Alex.  Holly made maple blondies for our birthday cake.  Delish!

Dinosuar Park

 

Holly, her kids and I met  Carrie and her girls at the Dinosaur Park.

 

They have some fun hands-on activities inside the museum.

 

 

It's hard to believe this beautiful girl is a mother of four.

There is finally plenty of shade at the park after all these years.

The kids always enjoy the playground, too.

Lily and Jack were discussing whether they should jump.

We had so much fun!  Thanks for suggesting it, Carrie!

McKenna's Shower

 

We had a wedding shower for Dave's niece, McKenna, or Kenna Bug as she is affectionately called.

Katie, Sharon, Reagan, Elaine and Ashley

The only male at the shower, Micaela's son Keonn, is so darn handsome!

McKenna's fam - her grandma, Alyssa and Amber

Here's wishing McKenna and Justin an eternity of happiness!
