We'll it has been a few days since I posted...I must have been having fun!!! Molly's wedding was beautiful and we met alot of nice people and some old friends. John and Bambi Wade camped next to us at the Bench Resort. We headed out to the Crawford Compound for games and dinner...Thanks K.J. and Sue. Cheryl and I spent some time downtown McCall and at the beach along Lake Payette. On Wednesday July 17, Cheryl and I headed back down to Boise and had dinner at my niece and nephew's house with my brother and sister-in-law Vivian. We stayed at Gary and Carol's thru Sunday where I rode a horse along with Gary [This time I didn't bail off]. We floated the Boise river in blow up boats, went to the Idaho Stampede and saw my first rodeo, it was awesome! Cheryl got to go out for Sushi, which she was in Heaven. Sunday morning I took Cheryl to the airport [end of her vacation for now]. I went back to my nephew's house and met up with Mom and Dad who flew in to join me for two weeks thru Yellowstone, Rushmore, Chicago and Notre Dame. We went to the Peregrine Foundation and toured the museum dedicated to past and present falconers. My brother, Jeff and his family were instrumental in establishing the foundation. Mom and Dad took Kate, Praire, Blake and I out to "Cool Hand Luke's" for dinner and it was gooood! Monday morning Mom, Dad and I left Boise, heading east towards Yellowstone. We spent the night at Star Valley Ranch, just south of Jackson Hole, where Dad and I swam to unwind from 8 hours on the road. Well off to Yellowstone tomorrow and the next three days. I will get back to you soon!
