The weather was great and we had a lot of family fun at a waterslide park and Boondocks. My favorite part was soaking Christina's parents in the powered intertubes with water squirting guns on them. There is just no way to better get to know the in-laws then when you are soaking them without mercy in a pool. Oh yea, it was a real nice wedding too. Martin had a lot of fun also, although his birthday (July 27th) was obscured by the rehearsal. But he got a cool gift, a radar gun for measuring the speed of a baseball. Interestingly, if you point it at cars with radar detectors they sure slow down a lot. So for fun we take it out at night and point it at cars we are following to see if they slow down.

Summer Vacation

This photo was the big secret from the vacation. We took it while in Keystone but wanted to save it for our Christmas cards. So here it is, in color. We had a lot of fun taking it. Funny, we ran into a lot of family while in Keystone, so it was a bit harder keeping it a secret. When we got back, someone said infront of my mom, "so how did the old time photos go?", and we had to quickly change the subject. If you click on the phtot you can see a larger photo. Then, notice the feet, since they don't have boots or shoes for everyone to wear, they just hide your feet with props. OOps, Jesse's foot is peeking out there, nice clean socks.

Thanksgiving in Rapid City

Thanksgiving was a great holiday this year. We went to RCSD and celebrated with the Seger clan. Quinlan and Marty got their first taste of Skiing at Dear Mountain, which is now called the Mystic Minor Ski Resort at Dear Mountain. It was a lot of fun, and we did not fall as much as we thought we would. Yes, I ski also, even though I have not done it in 20 years.
Mom and Alex spent some time building a Gingerbreat house (from a kit). Looks good enough to eat.
