Family Outing
Friday we went huckleberry picking as a family and it turned out to be such a glorious day! It had been so cloudy and cold and the sun finally broke through the clouds and made it so beautiful. It feels like autumn already up here! I'm looking forward to the fall. It's becoming one of my favorite seasons.
Audrey is such a daddy's little girl.
Cora was so tired by this time. She had already miss her morning nap and was quickly falling apart. After picking we went to Weir hot springs, twenty miles west of us.
Audrey wasn't to sure at first, but then she had a great time hanging on to daddy's hand and swimming around. Cora on the other hand is our water baby! She had so much fun splashing around and putting her face in the water trying to drink it (though I didn't let her), she didn't want to leave.
It was so relaxing, thought the hike in was a bit trying with the girls on our back and watching Bandit. It's not the easiest trail to hike. It's rather steep and rocky. We had the pool to ourselves and didn't have to worry about any nude people (which was so nice). It was such a great day as a family. We've been missing daddy a lot with him being gone and with the busy hunting season coming on us. In the next month or so we're not going to have very many times like this as a family, so we were thoroughly enjoying our time.

Flower SOS
This is my first Dahlia of the season. Up here in Powell we have such a short growing season that I get one flower and then we get a frost and I loose all the other buds. Also this year we've had an amazing amount of grasshoppers and they're eating all my buds as you can tell by this flower. Does anyone have any advise on how to deal with the grasshoppers and when it gets to cold? Yesterday morning it was 34 degrees! I need a lot of help.

Dress Up Time
The other day my sister sent Audrey and Cora dress ups that were Lizzie's. So the girls had to play and don't they look wonderful. They have had so much fun dressing up. Audrey had worn them everyday since she got them! I'm so glad that my girls are enjoying them. My sisters and I use to have so much fun dressing up and playing make believe, that I want my girls to have the same experience.

Swanson Cookout
Last Saturday we invited our whole church up to our home for a moose burger cookout. What a fantastic day we had. It had been raining for a week and a half prior and on Saturday it was sunny and 80 degrees. We set up our garage with the food table, which was filled with fabulous food, like cucumber dill salad, fresh cherries, grapes, strawberries, garden veggies, crab dip, salsa and chips and baked beans. We're going to try and have it be an annual event.
I had to strap Cora to a chair, because she kept taking food off of the plates of everyone. Little good it did, though. Notice she standing up with the chair strapped to her backside. It was so funny to watch!
