 Grampa's birthday

July 4th

After recovering from our Europe trip we were so excited to see Natalie, Neil, Cassidy and Gabriel over the 4th.  We went to the parade in CDA then enjoyed a BBQ at Gada and Bapa's and finished the evening watching the Hayden Lake fireworks.

Paul and Ashley in Alaska

While Nicole and I went to Europe, Paul took Ashley to Alaska (something she's always wanted to do).  They took a plane ride to see all of the wildlife and also went rafting with Brad Cosgrove on a class 5 rapid.  Ashley was one brave girl... before you could even get in the boats, they made you get in the river and swim down a ways so they could make sure you were a confident rafter.  The water was so cold they wore dry suits.
