Lots has happened since our last post. My busiest crunch of the year has come (and now gone) with Safe Routes to School and Bike to Work stuff, and Holly's busiest time of the year has just arrived with the beginning of summer day camp at BCRD. She has put in many hours, evenings, and LOTS of effort to make this summer a great experience for her kids. You can follow her camp blog at http://bcrdcamp.blogspot.com/.

Bridger is having fun, growing and exploring. He continues to be a very sweet boy who loves most things. His favorite is still outdoor play.

I made pizza. Bridger helped.


In early June, Holly's sister Kelsey came to spend a good part of the summer with us. It's fun to have her here, and it's a real blessing to have Bridger stay with Aunt Kelsey instead of day care. He gets to take naps at home now, whenever and wherever he wants.

He loves drives and bike rides in the trailer.

We've been doing some camping, hiking, biking, and 4wd.

Two weeks ago we went to Craters of the Moon National Monument and explored some caves.


This past weekend Will came out to visit Kelsey and they headed west to the Oregon coast for a long weekend. We spent our anniversary biking from Easley Creek north to Galena Lodge. Rode 24 miles of dirt and gained 2500' altitude. It was a fun ride and we were not ashamed at all to pack the carbs for lunch at Galena. Then I got food poisoning and spent Saturday evening miserable.

On Sunday morning I recovered, then in the afternoon we picnicked North of Ketchum and went on a nice drive.

Will and Kelsey returned from Oregon Sunday night and we were able to spend Monday evening with them, before Will returned to Iowa on Tuesday morning.

That's what we've been up to! We'd love to hear from our friends and family, so if you're reading this feel free to give us a shout!
