The Other Shoes

My brother and his family from Washington spent a couple of days this past weekend at our humble abode. They were on their "tour de Vegas, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington vacation. It has been a couple of years since we last saw them on our combined vacation to Priest Lake, Idaho. We had a great time getting caught up on each other's lives and enjoyed a few activities together.

The cousins were all able to get re-acquainted and have a treehouse late night/Guitar Hero sleepover!

The next day we went .40 cal pistol target shooting up a local canyon (after everyone passed the firearm safety quiz!) Uncle Paul and Keri showed everyone how to shoot a very nice group in the bulls-eye!

Klobberhead wanted nothing to do with those noisy guns, so she hid out in the van! We spent the rest of the day swimming at the local pool or floating the cold, lazy canal coming down the canyon. Then Uncle Paul wowed the local fisher-people at first dam with his spectacular can-opener off of the bridge!

We wrapped up the evening with some nice bar-B-cued buffalo burgers.

It was too short of a visit, but we are thankful that they took the time to stay for a couple of days!
