I think that I finally figured out my template problem.

Anyway, here are a few pics from recent activities.

This is one of my very most favorite pictures. Our neighbor gave us some free passes into Lava Hot Springs, so we played one evening and had a great time!

July 3rd is less busy on Alexander Reservior than the 4th. It was a Skidmore get-together, so we cruised on Uncle Gary's nice boat and docked on the pontoon boat (aka party barge). We took a waterbed matress to try and catapult eachother, but it didn't work so well.

Sushi anyone? Jack has a future in fishing living so close to Grandpa Roy. He liked swating this perch with his spoon. July 4th all the Smith cousins gathered in Bancroft for a day of soapboxing, paintballing, floating*, and eating. *Note: Don't take small children (like under 6) down the river in Lava. I had to work that morning. No parade, but we definately saw plenty of fireworks that night in Lava.

On the 5th we were able to go to Utah for a quick Layne Reunion. This is my great-grandma who will be 93 this year. She is fun to visit with and shares many wonderful stories.

That morning we attended a baptism of...ok...my mom's cousin who works for the government lives in China, adopted a boy from Mongolia-ya his. This cousin married a girl from Finland, has two girls of their own, then adopted this little boy as well as one from Cambodia. They sang "I am a Child of God" in Finish and Chinese. What a cultured family! We love to see them and glad they were in the states for a few weeks. Did you follow all that? This is not the best picture, but I found three of them together and took a click.
