On July 21st, Keslie was baptized. It is a neat experience when your first child is baptized. It was a special day for Keslie. She looked so cute in her baptism dress. Lots of friends and family were there.
Two days after the baptism we left to go up to Green's Peak for a week with Stefan's Family. For those of you who don't know about this place it is in the middle of nowhere in the White Mountains. There is no electricity, except by the use of a generator, and there is no running water. We have to collect the rain water and filter it to use for showers. We have to bring our own drinking water. We also have to use an outhouse. It is very primitive, but despite all of that it is still a fun and relaxing place to go. We enjoy playing games with his family, and the kids love the open space to run around. We also love the nice weather to be able to be outside all day. While we were there we also went into Eager one day to see my brother and sister-in-law. When we left their house it started pouring. It poured so hard that you could hardly see the road. I was so terrified. The other thing about the cabin is that if it rains too much you can get stuck trying to get in. It kept pouring all the way until just about a mile before the cabin and when we were that close it was just a light rain, and they had not had the heavy rain that we experienced so we were able to make it in okay.
This is a picture taken in front of the cabin with my kids and my nieces and nephews.
This is taken at Carnero Lake, which is a couple of miles away from the cabin. Isn't it so pretty and green?
Sitting by the fire on a cool evening in July. Doesn't that sound nice?
An outing in the forest.
This picture is taken in Eager from my brother's house looking towards the east where Stefan's family cabin is.
When we came home the craziness began with only a few days left to buy school clothes and supplies. The trip was a nice end to summer vacation.
