June 2019

Aside from the Hiawatha Trail, here are some other happenings of June.

We camped at Kelly Creek and the kids enjoyed the hammock.

I refinished our dining room table. I had never worked on such a project before and I was satisfied with the result.

Joel was in desperate need of a bath while we were camping at Kelly Creek.

The kids playing on the slip-n-slide.

Jeralyn coloring at a summer reading program event at the park.

This is what the boys were doing during the summer reading program event.

Joshua's cool creation.

Hiawatha Bike Trail :: June 2019

We took our annual trip to bike on the Hiawatha Trail for our 17th anniversary. We all love this trail and it's a great family event.

Stopped for a snack on a trestle.

More time at the pool at the RV campground we stayed at for the weekend.

Jeralyn's nose was dripping some melted ice cream.

We like to go play at a school playground near where we camp. This time we enjoyed some ice cream for our anniversary dessert.

Messy face Joel.

All of us on the trail after the mile-long tunnel.

The kids doing a project at story time at the community library.

The kids building Legos at the library one afternoon. We just dropped in and they were able to build some sets.

A storm came through this is a picture of the hail.

One our way home from Grangeville, I captured a photo of some canola fields. They glow fluorescent yellow.

Here are some photos of life in January 2019...

Jeralyn started taking piano lessons this month.

Joel wearing his new ski helmet.  He thought he was pretty cool and wanted to wear it all the time.

The kids working on a circuit board with Quent.

Crazy hair day for AWANA club.

For the government shutdown (35 days), Quent grew a beard and didn't shave until he was back to work. I grew a beard too. *wink*

Jeralyn tried my beard on too.

So proud of this girl's achievements with spelling.

This month marked Jeralyn beginning some orthodontic work done for expanding her mouth.

Another reading level completed!
