California & The Death Ride!

We spent a week in California with Grandma & Grandpa Smith and all our cousins. We had a great time swimming and playing everyday! The kids love to be with their cousins. They went back and forth between Grandmas house and Alan and Lisa's to have slumber parties. We spent most days in the swimming pool!



By the end of the week Jack was swimming all over the pool without his floaties!

Jon, Alan & McKay getting ready to leave to go do the Death Ride. The Death Ride is 129 miles with 15000 feet of climbing over 5 mountain passes. It is in Markleeville, CA.

Here is Jon signing his name that he made it over all 5 mountains. He said it was one of the hardest rides he has ever done. We are proud of you Jon!


They all made it to the top of the 5th mountain! Way to go you studs!

On their way to the end of the race. They are smiling since they are finally going downhill!

4th of July

The kids and I spent the 4th of July weekend at the cabin. Jon was unable to go since he had to work the weekend. Heidi took her friend Tara with us and they had a great time.

We were even brave and pulled the canoe out without Jon and took it out on the river each day.

We went and fed the fish at Big Springs after church.
