our recent adventures

The kids and I have been camping quite a bit this summer.  We go during the week when the campgrounds are pretty empty, then back home for weekends and Rob takes them on the boat or our fishing.  I offered camping to Rob, but he said he was ok.  
Here are some of our 'travels.'

Long Lake and Suttonfest
We picked up the boys, stopped at the lake, and happened upon "Sutton summerfest" on the way home.  The kids got the longest FREE pony ride ever, had to have been at least 20 minutes.  They played in a bouncy house, a water slide, and we got hot dogs for dinner... a great end to a beautiful day!
The boaters and the rock.  Last time we went Rosalee fell off the rock, up to her waist in the water.
Rosalee trying out the kayak.
Georgea loves it... I see white water in her future!!
Not sure what they're looking at here... but having fun anyways!
South Rolly
While Elic was at camp we went camping at our old stand-by...  this is the view from our campsite.
The view from the boat to the site... notice the swimmer.  He swam out to me, about half way across the lake, and back again!
Cannonball!!!   they had a good time going off the dock.
Our morning visitor.  I had mentioned to Sabrina, when we took the boys to camp, how I never see wildlife and how do all these people see so much.  Since then we have seen a Cow and calf moose drinking out of the lake, porcupine, fox, beaver and rabbit.
Rosalee liked to just fall in sideways, it was pretty funny to watch.
Matanuska Glacier
Not sure what she was up too, but this is a great pic of Rosalee.
We practiced with self timer and were able to take a decent self portrait!
GakonaWe stayed at a friend's house... this was the view.  Mt. Sanford and Mt. Drumm
Rosalee practicing her driving... she needs more practice!
Elic with his buddy Jesse.
Georgea and Chance by the HUGE fire pit!

Eklutna LakeGeorgea getting ready to ride
Elic's bike got a flat, so we had to walk back to camp... this was a stop by the lake to throw some rocks and eat peanut butter and jelly, NO bread!   Georgea had it in her bag, so we ate our lunch with a spoon.

Elic had an early bike wreck, then a second one, then the tire went flat... rough times on his rides.
