California & Vegas Fun

Friday, August 5, Roger, Rachel and I drove down to visit Adam and Kylee in Wasco, California which is just outside of Bakersfield. Adam has been an intern working at South Valley Farms. It is an almond orchard.

This is their cute little one bedroom apartment. At least the left half is theirs.

The almonds still on the tree.

After spending a few days touring around the area, we decided to get a little golf in.
Rachel's first time golfing. She enjoyed her golf cart. Maybe a little too much!
Adam and Kylee enjoying the morning.
Me keeping my on on the ball.
After golfing we all headed for Las Vegas to check out the sites and we spent a little time laying around the hotel pool. It was great fun. The next day we headed home to Idaho. Kylee came with us and Adam headed back to Wasco. He will come home after the almond harvest is finished in early October.

A Day at Rigby Lake

We did the beach Idaho style the other day and went to Rigby Lake. My sister Cheryl was here with her boys. It was a nice day to visit and play. It was the first time there for Makenzie and Zoey. Makenzie first thing waded out chest deep then fell over and came up spluttering. She didn't cry but never waded in that deep again.

The Fourth of July in Florida

The week of the Fourth of July the Clarks, Czieps and Schifferers met in Destin, Florida for a fun week on the beach. Here are a few of my favorite pictures. Our beautiful beach house. We watched the fireworks on the beach from the 3rd floor balcony.
Heinrich, Hunter, Kelli, Laura, Roger, Rachel, and Cooper.

Kristie burying Sydney and Cooper in the sand. I loved the sand. It was so white and soft.
Thanks to David and Kristie we always had lots of good things to eat. Here we are celebrating all the July birthdays.
Rachel got to blow out the candles. She turned 18 on July 7.
