Coeur d'Alene summer 2010

That's as far as he got in (I swam everyday that I could, with my head in the water)!!!

Kelty and Demon cooling off!!!! ( Can you say Baywatch!!!)


After Madison watched Greg and Dock playing chess she called Papa in so she could play a game with him!

What a wonderful, relaxing week we had in CDA this summer!!!! We spent a couple of wonderful days up at the cabin with the entire family and the Sommer's. We were able to enjoy the boat this year on Lake Pend'Orielle and swimming in Lake Coeur d'Alene. I actually felt like I was able to relax this trip. We did some shopping, took Madison down to NIC beach for a picnic dinner, also spent a couple of mornings at the City Park with Madison. I can't believe how easily Madison let us put on her life jacket and how much she loved the water. She was just like Aunt Mic and I when we were little, she was so cold that she could barely stand and she still wouldn't get out of the water. Mark, Dad, and JR weren't able to be with us the entire trip, but when they were with us we had a really nice time. The dogs enjoy it up there also, with the cooler weather as well as digging up at the cabin. I would really like to live up there someday. I didn't realize how lucky/spoiled we were growing up; it only takes us 5 minutes to be down by the beach!!! I miss HOME!!!!
