Solo and Enzo's first horse ride

 Don't be fooled by their expressions. The boys really did have a good time. Bart Bradshaw (from the Twisp Ward) was soo great. He gave Enzo really good instructions and was very patient and the horse, Jesse, was such a sweetheart. I love horses and I was really jealous that I didn't get to ride.

Black Pine Lake

This lake is such a few miles up the road and it was considerably warmer than the river. Enzo is so funny...he really liked riding off the dock, but more than that I think he likes telling people he rode off the dock. 

I am sooo proud to have one picture where Joshua isn't shooting daggers with his eyes.

Summer Vacation in Twisp, WA

We had a lot of fun visiting Grandma Linda and Grandpa Paul. We did some shooting, hiking, swimming, exploring, foraging, and a lot of playing.....I guess the guys did do some work too (that is an understatement). Cousin Joshua was also there to keep us company and Marty and Allisa came to visit as well. One thing we did that I don't have a picture of, that Lorenzo really enjoyed, was feeding the trout and the Fish Hatchery.

Twisp River

This is the swimming hole by the Grandma and Grandpa's house. The boys liked to go swimming there after work. One day Paul brought his thermometer and it was 53 degrees. I only swam one of the days we were there...that is a little too cold for me. Lorenzo had a scary accident one day. Thankfully he had on his life jacket...and Marty wasn't too far away. He was freaked out all the way to shore and then he wanted to do it again.

Notice the boredom on his face....he decided to do a little rocking after this.

OHHHH....the terror!!....Am I a bad mom because I was photographing this, instead of freaking out?
