Coley the waterskier! 

This was a proud moment for Husband who has helped all our friends kids' try to learn to ski this summer...even Ms. Fin!  Hubs loves to ski and learned at a really young age; I know that's why he really loves getting kids up on skis for the first time...that and kid's always listen better to adults besides their parents...especially a 6'4" man bellowing at them, "ARMS STRAIGHT, KNEES BENT, HOLD ON TO THE ROPE LIKE IT'S YOUR FAVORITE TOY..."  as he's holding them by the top of their life jacket!  It's very entertaining.

Stampede Kid's Float

 First place in the large float category...pretty good considering we were the only entry in our category!

 Sunday of Stampede preparing to float the Okanogan River in time to watch the Suicide Race come down the hill...it was so much fun we decided this will become an annual tradition!  Five families, 20+floats, coolers, and hot sun...can't beat that!

The end of summer is here...7 days until school starts and the rest is history! It's been a fabulous summer and we've squeezed more into the past 2 1/2 months than most people do in an entire year.  I'm tan, rested, and ready to tackle my new job.  Husband is busy with double days {football}, while he's also setting up his new classroom...the cool part is I can see his classroom windows from our living room and it was the room his dad taught in during the last few years of his teaching career!
