Fourth Celebrations
Here are some shots of the herd from Vail. Leslie took the kids out to Utah for Tina's baby blessing. They came home through Colorado and I met up with them in Vail. Normally, that place is packed, but this year there were a lot less people. We figured that it was because the Fourth fell on a Wednesday this year. The pictures show Les and the kids on Thursday after I left. They played in the children's fountain and then rode the gondola up to the top of the mountain. It was very cold up on the top, so they did not stay long.
The Explorer saga continues. I took the Explorer in Thursday (ten days ago) for a two day transmission repair. I guess my days are different, because I still don't have it back. Hopefully, it will be done "tomorrow" and I'll pick it up after work.
Other than that it has been hot here as well. I pushed it a little too much on Friday and ended up with dehydration. (Or it was the nasty water coming out of a newly built house. Not quite flushed out yet.) I just kept getting worse and worse on Saturday. My body ached all over and I had a fever. Les was burning up and I was walking around in a sweat shirt and pants. I slept a lot this afternoon and am now feeling better.
That's all folks!

Just a Little Bit of News
This has been a hot!!! week. It started out in the 80's, moved into the 90's, and finally hit the 100's. That little air conditioner we bought several years ago just keeps chugging away. We close off the basement and all unnecessary rooms and it will keep it in the 70's to near 80. Today the weather is a bit cooler and it is still 72 degrees at 4:00 in the afternoon. Our weather report says we are headed back into the 100's this week. Oh, Boy.
We announced our ward camp out today. On the 26th and 27th of July we are going to Laird Park for an over-nighter. Mom and I drove through there on the 4th of July and there were only 4 campsites being used in the loop we like. I hope it is that open when our ward gets there.
Mom and I also drove the Skyline Drive again on the 4th. That is the drive up in the mountains that starts just north of the rest area north of the Potlatch turnoff and comes out at Tensed. We only saw two vehicles on that trip.
We put new drapes in the living room. I really like them. They are shorter and more colorful. We put new vertical drape things in the windows and then hung a double rod and added a valance and drapes that cover the window. They are plaid beige and solid blue panels. When the other rod gets here we will hang new ones over the sliding glass door. Mom is considering painting the living room beige and/or blue (a couple of walls of each). I think it will look nice when we are done.
Several years ago they painted one of those little houses next to the Micro Theater. We really liked the color and since the housed is owned by the Terra Graphics Company (we mowed their lawn for a while), they are just north of the bank on the corner of third and the one-way headed south. I stopped in and asked them what the colors were. They referred me to another person who called and told us the Sherwin-Williams colors. Saturday, Mom and I stopped in at the Sherwin-Williams store and when the salesman came up to us I said I had the paint numbers from a house in town and wanted to know if the paint was still available. He said, "You mean that house on 3rd?" I said yes. He knew the house before I even told him where it was. He said there are about 6-7 houses painted that same color. At least we know we have similar taste if not good taste.
That's about it from here. We enjoyed having Seth, Lacey and Weston here for a couple of days. We hope to see the rest of you soon.
I just checked and if I were to add another post it would be #200. But, I'll leave that to chance and see who it will be.
Love, Dad and Mom

Randomness
While we were in Moscow, we downloaded all our pictures to put on our computer. Here are some random ones that I liked seeing again...
Look how cute Seth was/is...
The Jones Family also had a tin freezer with a hump where the engine was, Seth said the floor would get really hot near the engine. They also didn't have to wear seatbelts. I wonder if they ever had a port-a-potty in their van?
Look how proper we look...
Yes, we did actually swim in the pond.
