Breathtaking Views Of Lake Pend Oreille

We took an early morning ride on Memorial Day. Carmen dutifully coordinated her outfit!
The view of the vista was breathtaking. This is just a small part of Lake Pend Oreille.
The tiny white dots on the Lake are actually sailboats.
We gained a sweeter appreciation and better perspective of life with this picture perfect view.
Back on the trail! It was a fun ride!

Memorial Day Family Night = Smores!

Carmen roasted marshmellow for everyone! (We love our firepit which Grandpa Hill built/sculpted for us in 2004!)
Shaun and Carmen by the fire.
Brian kept the fire roaring.
The delicious product!

We Welcome Our Newest Grandbaby Boy, BREXTON!

Numerous kisses!
Isn't he perfect?!
Big eyes!
Sleeping on Grandpa!
Auntie Carmen couldn't get enough of him!
We love you Brexton!
