SUMMER 2008

THIS SUMMER WAS OUR CAMPING OUT SUMMER. We went to Red Fish with Sadie,
Maren and Tyler and rode bikes, sailed a bit and hiked. Red Fish is a beautiful spot in
the Saw Tooth Mountain range above Sun Valley. It was named because when the Salmon were spawning, it looked like a red lake. Now there are barely any salmon that return
due to the dams along the Snake River.

Then we went to McCall and stayed in Pondarosa Park. Most of the family came up
during the time we were there. And we did about the same things, biked, hiked, sailed and picked huckleberries. We have beautiful country in Idaho and it is nice that we can go in
our motorhome and stay whenever we want.

our china trip

Our trip to China was such a great adventure. We were gone for 2 weeks in May, 2008 with a tour group, China Focus. We saw many sites including large cities, ancient Chinese artifacts, the Yangtze river, the 3 gorges dam and many nice people who helped us learn about China. 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese and those are just the people that live in China. I'm sure that we'll hear more from the Chinese in the future and remember what we heard and saw on our trip to CHINA.

Grandpa's 87th birthday!

Grandpa at his 87th birthday party. We had an open house at Legacy where G & G live. Grandpa is not quite up to par due to the fact that he spent a few days in the hospital on Christmas with a bladder infection and other health related problems. But he was pretty pleased with the birthday party when alot of his family came to wish him Happy Birthday.
