We have been celebrating, in our fashion, my birth month. We have had angel food with strawberries, lots of watermelon and some side trips. Let the pictures speak:
 |
Monday we had home evening at a park with splash
fountains and shaved ice with the Iversons. |
 |
Tuesday we had birthday at home with a pile of balloons and angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream. |
 |
| Tuesday also found the deacon's doing their check-out 100 yard swim in our pond, they all made it. |
Parma trip, wednesday.
 |
| Logs have floated into the swim area. |
 |
| Keeping in touch with Anna, Meg and Kate. |

Silver City, a mining ghost town in the Owyhee Mountains.
We drove there on Saturday, from Eagle it was just over 2 hours. The last 13.5 miles were, mostly smooth, gravel road. There is about a 4000 foot increase in elevation so some curves. Lots of ATV and side-by-side off-roaders too. Overall it was fun. The old Hotel and other buildings are well preserved, most are summer get-aways from the heat.

Brave crossing of Clear Creek. Josh and Levi, Cindy safely
on shore. |
 |
| Rocks, sticks and water, heaven on earth. |
 |
| Who's missing a Packard?? Morgan and Levi found one to sell. |
