More outdoor fun

We've enjoyed some sunny days (finally) in Spokane. Here's the latest:
Randi having fun at the lakeLani kayak tanningCamping at one of our favorite lakes


One of Lani's friends. After feeding him, we woke up to all his family, friends, and neighbors in our campsite.
Ric getting serious about his fishing
Lani pretending she got a fish, too bad you can see Randi in the background pulling on her line.
Randi got the only catch of the day!
Randi's creative personal bait; she smacks a dragonfly with a stick, then puts it on her line with her powerbait. She claims if she were a fish, she would eat it.
Another one of her creations with a worm this time.This was at Medical Lake a couple days ago.


To add more to our travel log, Lani & I went to Fargo, ND to cheer on Jordan at the National wrestling tournament. We had a lot of fun and Jordan did awesome!
Chandler & Lani looking pretty

We're trying to squeeze as much family fun time in before Lani & Ric head off to Utah & Idaho in September. We're hoping to be able to get all the kids together before they leave!

JUNE VACATION

We just returned from a fun-filled vacation to celebrate our wedding anniversary, birthdays, Lani's graduation, and Ric's return. We started out with a visit to see my Dad. My older brother Mike, just happened to be in town at the same time so he took us all out to lunch for a delicious Japanese meal.
We stayed with the Migdat's, our adoptive family. We spent a couple days at the Marriott Palm Desert Resort with them. We enjoyed the sun, swimming, tennis & games.
This is Wendy & I in the cabana reading, doesn't get much better than this!They had these cool cabanas you could sit in with a fan and cool mist that sprays down. It w.as so nice, especially in the 110 degree heat.

We then flew to Puerto Vallarta
