Some Indy racecars came to town and the boys went to visit. They had simulator that they got to drive that was like driving a real racecar. Not too often you get to see this in Baker.

Porters fish.




We decided to try our luck at fishing at a near by pond. Mason gave up after 10 minutes. The others persisted. Austin and Porter both caught a few blue gills about the size of your hand. Conner had a baby trout but it got off the hook before we could bring it in.

This was a dam the kids made, trying to divert the water--it slowed the rush but didn't affect it too much--it also made a nice bridge to get to the other side.










This is the view from the top of the lookout before we went down.





The first part was easy--sit on your bottom and slide until you hit a tree or rock. Coming up was not so easy.




Our ending destination--a beautiful river with some small falls--more like big rapids.








Our Memorial day adventure. The hike we were going to take was still snowed in so we stopped at a look out point and decided to make our own trail. We could here a river down the mountain and decided to go find it.

We went exploring on Memorial day and found this river. Had a great

time trailblazing our way down to it.

Brandon got me a sheep for my birthday. When they were up visiting, he asked me to go see the "baaaaaaaaaaa"--I laughed everytime he asked it was so cute. So we had to say good morning and good night to the sheep--they were actually goats because I didn't know where we could find sheep, so I have probably warped him for good. Anyway, it the cutest sheep--it says I love you when you press her paw. SHe has little furry flip flops and pink bows on her ears.

I am going to show her off at work. Thanks Brandon.
