Back to School

We started back to school on Tuesday. The first day was pretty rough, but since then it has been a lot smoother! Kammy and Kaite have been playing together a little nicer lately, thankfully.

Camping!

We went camping for the last time this year. It was fun! Papa and Gramma and Nette, my cousin came up for a day. First we went to Grandjean and then to Stanley Lake. Both the places were very very pretty! Kammy had to bring her new horse along, so we tied Walmart grocery bags on his 'hoofers' so they would not get dorty. Theis is her in front of the Sawtooth Lodge.
The cousins hugging goodbye just before Annette and Papa and Gramma had to leave for home.

My family!

Kaite fell flat in the sooty dirt...at least once. :)

Kaite roasting marshmallows. She thought she was so big!

Kammy got an Apaloosa book from the nice camp host. She was sure excited about that!

Sisters........

Kaite LOVES Campbells, chicken noodle soup. She even pours it herself! Kammy is at Grandma's house for a while. So today after we get the housework done we might do a little schoolwork.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

(Kalli thought of all the silly ones...)

A fair time at the county fair!

The other day, we went to the fair. We each got to choose 2 rides and one I chose was the train. Kalli and Kammy chose the train too, and momma and Kaite got to ride free!

It was soooo hot! So we were glad to run in the water that the fire truck was spraying to cool people off!

There were all kinds of animals. Pigs, chickens, goats, lambs, cows and more. They were fun to look at.

There was also a cool place where they took old fashioned pictures. We dressed up like Little House. I like this picture because, "that's just Kaite!" That is just the way she acts!

I rode a Ferris Wheel for the first time. It was a little bit scary and I got a little bit sick, but it was still fun, especially when I got used to it! The place we ate lunch was very expensive! We all had a lot of fun! Better sign off for now. Kayla
