June 11-13

One of the guys at the boat launch on Friday said it perfectly…..”It is always a good day when you are heading upriver, and Sunday always comes way too quickly!”

Saturday was a kind of rainy off and on, but the rain was very welcome since the last time we were out the ground was cracked and crunchy. We got the roof put on the shed, those clear panels are very nice, saves us from putting in windows! Mike figured out a nice double door design too, that’s going to be great for hauling things in and out, including a snowmachine if we ever have to work on one out there in the winter time!

Piper brought a friend up this time, they had a great time together and they didn’t pick on Travis TOO much….actually all three of them played very well together. Saturday night was very cute, Mike and I were out working on the shed and the kids were up in the loft playing games & trying to stay up for dessert (pie-iron-pies). We came in about 11pm and the cabin was silent….”Are you guys awake?” no answer, so I went up and all three are curled up on the rug w their sleeping bags and Travis still had his glasses on….needless to say we postponed PIPs to a Sunday snack.

We also got the well thawed, when we started it in May we weren’t really thinking and left water in the pipe, since the ground was still frozen it formed an ice plug in the line…..all fixed now though!

Yesterday was beautiful, sunny & the river was high….makes boat driving much more pleasurable. We stuck around enjoying a fire and the pleasant weather until 7:30, but we still made it to Monderosa before they closed the grill for the night.

We saw a partially white cow moose on the way back downriver.  She had a white circle on her side, it seriously looked like a bullseye. A couple other little white patches as well.  First time I have ever seen one in person. Very cool. Too bad I didn't have the camera ready!

Solstice is only a week away!! Where is the summer going??
