and we go fish'in

While Malc took the oars Scott had some time to kick back and fish. And wouldn't ya know it he caught 7 fish. Poor little mouths were hardly big enough to swallow the hook but still! He never catches fish. So it was a big deal of course. When we pulled out we had dinner at Polebridge and got more from the yummy bakery.

Float

We stopped on the bank for a wonderful lunch. Malc had a turn at the oars and found a new hobby to pursue.

Day 3

day 3 with Malc and Shoanna we floated the North Fork of the Flathead River. Even the dog came with us. In her own raft of course.

Silverwood

After the waterpark closed we had had enough time to take in the ice show and a few more rides. Malc and Shoanna had so much fun putting quarters in the water guns and getting unexected daydreamers right in the ear or full on in the face. No mercy ah?

Waterpark

When it got good and hot we went over to the waterpark to cool down. Lots of waterslides, lazy river and the wave pool.

The excitement started with timber Terrors. I'm sure all us adults thought we were going to die. Then came the corkscrew. I was the only smart one that stayed off of that.

Nanma and Grandad arrive!

Scotts folks from New Zealand came here for a short visit. We picked them up at the Spokane airport and after a little shopping and long rest and big breakfast the next morning we took them to Cabellas for an experience. then on to Silverwood which the girls were oh so excited for!

another pet

The girls found another turtle along the road. This one was smaller and they named him speedo. Speedo lived with us for a few weeks in a box with water in Sheradias room. Before nanma and Grandad came for a visit they set him free by the river.

parting shots

The three cousins and a sweet one of my brother and I before they left.

Fireworks

Wanted to show Cameron how to make a sparkler bomb but forgot the tape. So lit off some others anyway. He also liked the girls BB gun. And the three cousins lined up at the breakfast bar eatting.

Float the North Fork

Back in Montana we spent a day floating the North Fork of the Flathead River ending in Polebridge. It was wonderful and oh so relaxing!
