Smith Camping

Back to the Beaver Dams.....Oh the fun we had....Riding horses...getting dirty.. and even running in to a rattle snake. I had the kids on the four wheeler and we ran right by a rattler. Talk about scary. We made it mad cause it was really rattling. I am sure I don't want to run into that again. To top it off, we live right in the hills now, and Sydnee came to tell me she found a snake. We called the farm boys to come and get it and it was a Gardner snake. Looked just like a rattler. Court had ran over it on his way to work and it had slither under the kids b-ball hoop and died. Once again I am a wimp when it comes to snakes. Not the kids, they are way to fascinated in them. In fact Chase sleeps with a fake rattle snake every night. It cracks us up. Thanks for a great time Smith family!

Summer... What a Blast.....

I know this has been long waited for. Sorry! Seems like we have been busy playing and keeping up with the warm weather I haven't taken the time to post all our fun events and adventures. However, we are back thanks to a rainy day and cold weather...

I guess we will get started off with our trip to Bear Lake. The Smith clan all went and enjoyed some warm weather. Sydnee has been begging to go to a beach and this was the best we could do here in Idaho and she begs to go back. Bear lake was a hit...

Catch Up..... Fourth of July.....

Court had the day off early so we rode in the arena then they rode back to the pasture. They love riding with their dad.

We finally got moved in and the last boxes were put away today. With summer they were the last things on our list. The kids wanted to just spend time out in the sun, so we did. We are loving life and are glad to be done with school. It is fun to be on the other side ......that is till loans kick in, but that is life. We are loving the warm weather and our summer adventures.
