Cute girls!

  

Melanie having a tough day at work.  We all know, it's hard to be beautiful all the time, especially when there is so much to do...  She can't even stop for a lunch break!

October 31, 2005 - Halloween!

  

Melanie as Cinderella, Sammy as Elvis (love the gold suit and shoes), Adam as a hunter, and Carolyn as a little devil (i.e. herself).

Nice little day trip - started out as a fall leaf drive, but had to go check out the new Cabela's (wow!) in Lehi, UT, then drove through the canyon to Bridal Veil Falls for a bit of play time.

My 3 Indians (the neighbor Indian in back) all gussied up and playing with the teepee I made them.  (Yes, ME!)

I told Sammy his name should be Chief Crazy Paint.

Ever wanted to take 15 cub scouts to day camp?  Well, guess I won't say think again, but think hard.  :)

Adam looking especially cool in his cub scout uniform shooting arrows at Camp Kiesel.

Marni, the amazing scout leader, with my sea crew.  Next year I demand a new crew.  I paddled backwards most of the time to attempt to keep us going forward.  Keyword - attempt.  "Row!  You're not sick, just row!  No, you can't get off now, row!"  Of course the boats are one of their favorite activities.  AFTER they get off.  :)

 

August 6, 2005 - Festival of the American West

We love this yearly trip to Wellsville, UT - lots of cowboys, Indians, animals, loud guns, sheep shearing, etc. etc.

 

Cool little cowpokes!

  

Marni and Carolyn even got a ride thanks to some riders from Rexburg, ID.

 

July 23, 2005 - Riders in the Sky Concert

Waiting for it to start...

  

Hands down, the Riders are our family's favorite group.  We take them everywhere with us!

Adam even went up on stage to sing with them - right there next to Too Slim's elbow.

Carolyn and Adam having some summer fun!

Carolyn as Davy Crockett, thanks to big brothers.  Isn't she fierce?

 

June 24, 2005 - Visiting Fremont Indian State Park

 

My little group of Fremonts wanna-be's

Carolyn not happy since she is not attached to mom.

  

Adam honing his hunting skills.

This poor boy works waaaaay too hard.

 

June 13-18, 2005 - Wood Badge at Camp Bradley near Sun Valley, ID

Marni and the Raven patrol - "Cawwwm to the dark side!"

Josh, Clint, Wendy, Randy (our amazing troop guide), Marni, Zed, and Brant
