A great weekend with Pam and Jim!!!

This is my "new" old bike. We think it is a 1957-1960 Schwinn Corvette


This is the bike my Dad used to ride on his paper route

After two days with Brian and I...my Dad needed some rest

The beautiful log home Matthew is building on Loon Lake

A picture break on our 5 mile walk through farm country

Mom and Dad came over to spend a beautiful fall weekend with us. We went out to dinner, went on a 5 miles hike, went to the Lake to see the progress on Matthew's log cabin and spent a lot of quality time together. It was a wonderful weekend!

Taking the Boat out...the unofficial end of Summer.

The guys did rock-paper-scissors to see who went first


Matthew won and decided to go last...Brian was up first.

Matthew cutting hard

Jon cuts through perfect water

Matthew is a little nervous about the water temp

You know it's calm when you can see your reflection on the water

Brian has a perfect fall ski.

Jon, Brian and Matthew

The boys got one last ski in on October 15th before we took the boat out of the water for the winter. The first snow should be in a few weeks and by December the lake will be frozen over. The water temp was 58 degrees and the air temp was 55 degrees...no wet suits, tough guys!

Kelly Creek Idaho, Sept 23-25

Kelly Creek is one of our favoirte spots we go and one of the most beautiful fishing trips we take. To get to Kelly Creek we drive for roughly two hours on old logging roads and cross two mountain passes, and that's after we are already into Montana. There is no cell service, no internet, no noise except for nature and few people. It is incredible, and in an ever distracted world it is peaceful beyond belief. We had a slow day fishing the first day, but an excellent day on the second. It was a perfect weekend for two people who love the outdoors and fly fishing.
