30 Word Thursday...On Friday: Family

Last summer we spent a week at my folks' lake house.   I find I am missing my family so much today, and wanted to share kiddo pictures with you. Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The premise of 30 Word Thursday is simple... take a photo, write 30 words (no more, no less) and post it each Thursday.  This is a blog hop hosted by Erin Prais-Hintz over on her blog Treasures Found, pop on over there to see her post for this week as well as links to the 30 Words from everyone else.

Summer In Northern Idaho...

Hello!  We just got back on Sunday from our family vacation to my folks' lake place at Priest Lake, ID.  What a beautiful place!  The lake is just shy of the Canada border in Idaho, is glacier-cut and is really deep.  The weather was amazing (definitely better than the 110 degrees plus of Arizona), and everything was so green.  I thought I'd share some pictures with you all:

My three boys tubing - Shawn looks terrified, doesn't he?

The boys and their girlfriends

Beautiful sunset

The dock

Tons of wildflowers - these are clover

Love the texture in this leaf

Wild roses

Wild daisies (my favorites) EVERYWHERE!

Not a huge fan of spiders, but this one was beautiful

A view of our dock from the neighbor's lot

I love the graphic quality of this petal-less rose

MORE daisies

Mom's gorgeous pots

That's it for now.  :-)
