Lost Lake & Silver Lake

We have been taking the kayak out a lot lately. Lost Lake is the first place I have seen Lily pads. I was fascinated by them so...



Patrick and I have a good system for fishin. I don't really like fishing so I paddle and he can cast all day! It really works out good.

We tried to have D'ohgee ride in the kayak but isn't too fond of it, but she doe LOVES the water!






Just a view of Timp.

The 4th of July

We went with Brandon and Jenn to Lewiston for a classic 4th of July! We did it all from the 5k to the fireworks! We had so much fun.

I couldn't think of a better way to thank you than putting pictures of you asleep on the internet! But it really was the perfect laid back small town 4th of July, I can see why it is Jenn's favorite holiday! Thanks you guys!

Astle Family Reunion

Patrick with his cuddle-buddy! Someone has to cuddle with him.














Patrick and Jason always make an awesome fruit tray!

Everyone loves a watermelon eating contest! What would a family reunion be without one?

The Reunion was at Crystal Hot Springs, in Honeyville Utah. We all had so much fun, Drylee's family did a great job!

DesNews Marathon

Juli came down from Lander Wyoming to help me get a new PR (Personal Record Patrick, not puiking) at the Deseret News Marathon, on July 24th!
We came in 51st and 52nd place out of about 200. Juli could have run it faster but she stayed with me and pulled me the whole way.

Yellowstone

We took a few days off and drove up to Yellowstone. We saw a lot of "Geothermal Features!"

We went on a lot of little hikes. Patrick thinks we hiked like 10 miles but it was maybe 2!

We saw lots of wildlife in Wyoming. Buffalo, elk, deer, antelope, a coyote, and on the way home we saw some moose!

But before we could go we had to see Braydon on his 5th Birthday! He had a pinata that was bigger than him (and his sisters!)
