Summer Travels

Sorry for the long gap between postings. We've really been slacking, but here's a smattering of what we've been up to this summer:

In June, we joined Mike and Jen on the Desolation-Grey Canyon river trip. Matt Anderson was our buff river guide.



Jen was suspiciously not partaking in the consumption of copious amounts of beer floating along this trip.

Rowing, not as easy as it looks.

We had a great time save the mozzies. Jen and Mike's blog has a lot more of the good times captured on Flickr.

At the end of July, we took a scenic road trip to Glacier National Park, the first trip for all of us (although we're not entirely sure where Lucy may have gone before she entered our lives). Lucy was happy to come along for the drive but sadly had to stay in the cabin the first day we hiked the park and then at a doggy day care the second day as dogs aren't allowed on the park trails.

We were really fortunate with great weather and had magnificent views on the Dawson-Pitamakan trail (a.k.a. the Awesome-Pitamakan). Note the handy can of bear spray attached to my right shoulder:)


The Awesome-Pitamakan. . .



On our second day, we went on the loop trail off the Going-to-the-Sun Road on the west side of Glacier. It was spectacular. We really hope to go back next year for a longer trip.

We stopped in Stevensville, Montana to see the Haggerty's on the drive home. Ruby has gotten so big and is such a sweet, beautiful girl.

Rob didn't have a hard time convincing Jack to climb to the top of this tall stack of hay in the barn.


Allison's pink Shasta trailer. . . it was meant to be.


The men fishing. . . while the girls went out for a drive.



A horse? A dog? Doesn't matter, Jack likes it.

Ruby's down for the count on the walk back home.

So, just a friendly reminder to those on the men's team for the candlepin bowling tournament of 2007. . . Your turn will be coming soon. We graciously held the shark trophy this year and have now bestowed the honor on Phil and Allison. Next up in no particular order: Pete D, Rich B, Mike A, and Marc T.
