Time flies when you're cooking in the sun

I can't believe how quickly the blog posts grow old. It seems like just a few days ago when I posted the McCall wedding pictures. Time flies when you're cooking in the sun - we've been busy and hot. Here's a one-post update of the last couple of weeks.

The annual Twilight Criterium is always a fun Saturday night. Once again it was a 100 degree day, but by 8p it had finally cooled down enough to be enjoyable. The main had over 100 riders, so it was quite a pack whizzing by every few minutes. Highlights of the evening included pitas from The Pita Pit and meeting lots of people on the street that we hadn't seen for months or even years.

On Sunday afternoon we went to the lake with Con and Heidi, Sienna and Remi. Again, ridiculously hot, so even the frigid waters of Lucky Peak were a welcome relief. The kids did great with the boat (Heidi wasn't sure what Remi would think) and the water. Last year Cooper would go ankle deep at most but he is much more adventurous this year to the point you gotta keep your eye on him because he 'thinks' he can swim for real. But he can't.

This weekend we had two birthdays and a potluck to go to so that was pretty much it. One of the birthdays was at Roaring Springs so the whole family went. It was a lot of fun because Mia is just tall enough, and just barely bold enough to go on most of the rides.

All for now. -Sam

We had a great time up in McCall last weekend for Nicole and Jeremy's wedding. We stayed in our favorite rental 'cabin' again , this time with Brad and Patty and Mark and Brenda. The kids were in the wedding, so we went to the rehearsal on Friday night as well. Took the boat and went fishing with very little luck, but as usual it's just nice to be out on the water. Not sure why my fish locating skills have been so poor lately, but if I don't have a good outing soon, Shanna's going to start to question my manliness.

With the lovely bride. All the kids did an excellent job standing up front in the sun during the entire ceremony.
A job well done deserves a little pool time
They had an interesting cake table, where friends and family baked a little something to add to the small wedding cake. All the goodies were a big hit with the crowd - a heck of a lot better than the usual mints and pretzels.
