BBQ Birthday Bash!

We had a fun BBQ for friends and neighbors on Sunday, when I turned the big 3-2.

John went all-out with the food and we had delicious carrot cake!

Here are pics from the trip John and I did on the lower Salmon (the River of No Return), with friends from my office -- We floated for 62 miles (five days), putting in at Pine Bar near Cottonwood, Idaho and taking out at Heller Bar on the Snake River.

It was amazing, and a great way to celebrate our 3rd anniversary! (July 30 was the final day of the trip)

Montana: the cabin

The cabin has been in John's family since Bert's (John's step dad) grandfather bought it back in the 1930's.

Montana, day 7 (Sat, July 14)

John got up early again to fish with Rex. Bob, Sara and I drove in to Helena for a morning with mom and dad in town. Strolled the galleries, played in "Lasso the Moon" toy store, bought chocolate and fresh-squeezed lemonade, and of course went back to the Base Camp.
