This is our poor garden over flowing with one of the several flash floods that Pocatello had the pleasure of seeing this month. There was nothing to do but watch.
We are surprised that we really did not lose anything, we got quite a bit more dirt but everything survived. We have even enjoyed several of the watermelons that we grew and the pumpkins are looking great!
We went to Pack-Saddle lake at the beginning of the month. This was Russell after the first cast, Chad was walking away to go get his poll ready and Russell starts yelling, "I got you fishy, I got you!" He sure did.
Yes it was cold but that did not keep Chad from going in to the water off of the rope swing.
And the kids also had to take advantage of the body of water.
We also had the opportunity to spend a couple of weeks in Boise, we had a wild time. I took the kids to the Aquarium one day and forgot my camera, we walked to the old train depot and spent an hour wasting time till it opened so we could see inside.
We also went fishing in the river, it quickly turned in to, Mom can we take off our shoes and socks and get our feet wet? Well that is how it started and by the time we needed to get going I was the only one that was not soaked. Russell and Autumn got to be stripped down in order to get in the truck.
Back home again, we have been trying to keep busy. I was making dinner one day and I turn around the corner to see what they were laughing at, only to find that the slinky would no longer perform as it once had. Yes that is a slinky in the air. Now it is in the garbage.
Here are a couple of more productive things we have made a few crafts this week. Alligator and dog with moving parts and a fish that can swim.
