Holter Lake....again!

Holter Lake - July 2009. It. Was. A. Blast!!!! We went jetskiing, waterskiing, and boating....all in one day! The lake was beautiful, as usual. We love going there. We cooked out and let the kids play. We stayed into the night and ended up leaving at around 9-ish. Both Mario AND Mike lost their Oakley glasses while jetskiing....oh well...I think it was worth it to them!!! Mario lost his while trying to show off and then the jet ski showed him who really was boss and threw him off!! We had a little scare at the end of the day....ok, well I almost panicked, but that's besides the point. While Mike was getting into the boat from the jetski, he slipped and hooked (yes, hooked) his leg on one of the clips to hold the top on the boat. It went in one side and came out the other. Ouch!! He was such a trouper though and got back on the jet ski and taught Amanda how to ride. I think I would have just DIED had that happened to me.

A great picture of Mike on the jetski

Holter Lake

We went to Holter Lake yesterday and had a blast. The weather was great and there was hardly anyone on the lake - PERFECT! We grilled out for lunch and had hot dogs (again!!) and turkey burgers and then went out on the boat and spent 4 or 5 hours out there getting sun, playing with the tube, jumping in the water. And of course, Peyton and Mario went fishing off the back of the boat. I love this lake - it is BEAUTIFUL! Later, we cooked out for dinner and the boys got to play at the little beach.
Peyton jumping in to cool off - it was hot!
Me trying my hand at fishing....didn't catch anything though.
Ben and Jameson fishing with their little poles
Still fishing! They LOVED it!!
Peyton took the boys on a tube ride
Playing with night crawlers....yuck!

Ok, Mario and I in the tube....er...sort of. We hardly fit!
Ok, now we're situated!!
Ben playing on the beach
He's very contemplative in this one..I wonder what he was thinking about?

4th of July Festivities

We had a wonderful 4th of July.....my mom and brother were here and we collectively bought almost an arsenal of fireworks, but they were GREAT!! The guys had a great system down and there was barely any lag time between fireworks. Despite having hail early that evening, all went good.
The flag cake I make every year
Ben, me and my mom with our flag cake!
Ben eating a hot dog (he's had like 15 in the past 4 days!!)
Sparklers for kids!!! He loved them!
Ok, I'm not sure exactly why he had to have that helmet on....The "moms"
Ben decided he wanted to hang with the "big boys" - that is, until things got serious!
Then, he wanted mama :)

Air Show

We went to the Helena Air Show and it was SPECTACULAR!! Here are a few pics:
