I Am On A Roll......
I have two more new name plaque designs finished. I am so excited to finally be getting these painted. They have been just sitting in my sketchbook for far too long. These are the first two designs in my alphabet series. There are going to be others that coordinate, but with different backgrounds.

Home!
Well we made it back- with our memories, 200 pictures I took, and need to sort through and edit... and a few stories for the kids to tell there friends at school today. Roasting hotdogs in the rain - Climbing a mountain called "Mount Baldy" - and having a curious BIG BLACK BEAR come a little too close for comfort when we were fishing at the lake! I am not sure what it is with our family outings having to include wildlife upclose and personal... but lately it seems like it wouldn't be a vacation without it. I was so bummed (after we ran as fast as we could to the other side of the small lake we were fishing on) that I didn't have my camera! It was around my neck the whole trip except for this quick trip to the lake to fish before dinner. And of course that was when he decided to show up. It is a little unnerving when everyone on the lake is yelling bear, and pointing behind you. Then to turn around and see it 50 yards up the mountainside behind you. Poor little Madi, it scared her to death. I am not sure if it was totally her shock, or partly from the reaction of the others around us, but she just took off. Her little legs would not move fast enough for her. Once we were at a safe distance, and the Bear was moving back up the mountain, she thought it was funny to see the bear, "not in the zoo" as she put it.
We also went to see the Falls, they were beautiful. A photo just does not do them justice, but here is a pic of the bottom falls. We saw two others on top of this one, but these were my favorite.
Here is a view from the 'almost' top of Mount Baldy. It started raining, and hailing, so we didn't make it to the top.
Carter got a lesson in fly fishing from Nate. I love looking at these pictures of the two of them together.
Well I didn't get any work done. We were busier than I thought we would be. The kids love fishing, and wanted to go constantly go to the lake or the river. It was a fun weekend. The leaves are just starting to change, I can't wait for another week or two, when they are in complete fall colors. It is my favorite time of the year. I am definitely going to make it up this year to take some pics of the leaves.
