Happy Freaking Birthday

OK...I know I am not big on birthdays and I really do not like people making a big deal out of anything that might have my name attached

...but...

I might need cheese cake to go along with this whine...Call me strange but ask me if this sounds like a great way to spend your B-day...

Lene and her kidlets leave me...Then Kirk and Kira leave for the "family" white water trip...

No, I do not get to go...because "I am sick"...blah, blah, blah... BUT...I did get some really neat things ...giggle,giggle....made them feel guilty for leaving me hehehehehe

I have to show you what 'Lene gave me... Is that cute or what!!!

Family of Rafters

I have a family that LOVES to White Water Raft

Let me rephrase that...my family likes to White Water raft. I like to take pictures of them rafting and other pretty things that I find.This is the Lochsa River, it is in the BitterRoot Mountains of North Central Idaho. This is a yearly vacation that we take, along with Kirk's rafting buddies called "The River Rats".

My Daughter, Kira always wears her bright green rain gear and her green converses.
This makes it pretty easy to find her no matter what might be happening at the moment.


Today, a group of ladies from our church when "rafting" on the Snake River; The place we went is called the "Hagerman Stretch", I say rafting because there was very little white water to speak of. So, I decided I was going to give it a try.I grabbed Kira's shoes for good luck.
I would love to show you more pictures of the day, but I forgot my memory card, so this is the only picture I have. I did have lots of fun, but I still do not think I am up for a White Water Trip quite yet.

ok to clarify the pictures...In the front of the raft is Mooch (Kira's boyfriend) and beside him and out of camera range is my youngest son, Derek.

In the middle on the far side (now in the bottom of the boat) is one of the "River Rats".

And then Kira in her lime green gear, behind her is my nephew

On the back row is Kirk...right beside him and in the water is my brother Morris.

Kirk & Morris were accually the only ones to go out... the kids faces were priceless, beings the dads were gone!!!

Thanks for visiting today!
