Camping in the Sawtooth Mountains

We had a lot of fun up in Idaho. The weather was perfect for a little camping in the middle of nowhere. I was impressed at how green it was. I guess that I'm just used to the deserts and farms while coming across Idaho to Utah. This was a part of Idaho that I'd never seen before. So we did a little hiking by Redfish Lake . . .

 
and had a blast rafting down a river. It was the first time that I'd ever been white water rafting. I definitely wouldn't mind doing it again.

 
That's us in the middle. It gives you an idea of what we were up against. We definitely had some fun times.

  

Michelle graduation

Michelle did it! She graduated from Emerald Ridge High School on Saturday, June 17, 2006. The weather held and the sun even peeked out a few times. After graduation the family drove to King Wha's for dinner then back home for a dance party. There wasn't a whole lot of dancing but they had fun playing games. They partied until everyone left to make their midnight curfew! (The party started at 7pm).

Family has fun at Seahurst.

We had the chance to enjoy our tradtional breakfast at Seahurst Park on Memorial Day. It was a low tide and we had the chance to see lots of sealife. We learned that those empty shells we see from crabs aren't dead crabs, just the crabs have left their shells to develop a larger one.

Capitol Reef

Here we are at Capitol Reef a few weeks ago.

Our Garden

Celeste has been busily working in our garden. We've been enjoying some of the lettuce already. The green onions are getting close to being ready.


We just had our first strawberry today. It tasted better than any of the strawberries that we have bought in the store.


And our five tomato plants are getting huge--we planted them as seeds and now they are almost as big as Celeste! There are a few small, green tomatoes growing on the vines. If you look closely, you can see some of the blossoms, but the green tomatoes are protected inside. Also, on the ends we have two green pepper plants and a cucumber plant.
