On the right, you see wood that has been scraped, wood that needs scraped and on the right side, you see wood that has been scraped, caulked and primed!

What's Been Going On?

After unloading my camera this morning, I realized we've been doing lots of things and I haven't blogged about any of them!

Last weekend, the LAST weekend before school started, we decided to get up in the high country and camp and hike. We headed back up to Beartooth Pass, elevation over 10,000 ft. There is so much country and different passes, but it's all named for the peak you see in the middle...Beartooth.
Someone was even getting married up there!
Soon, we found a wonderful place to camp and of course the spoiled dog had to try out our new sleeping bag!
The view out the window...

And here is the view of Chain Lakes, out the back door of our camper.

Here's the camper...

The lakes are just down the hill behind it. (this photo by Scott)

There are many, many springs coming out of the ridges and that's what feeds these lakes. There are several of them and all very pretty!
Here's an interesting picture of Scott and our shadows as he attempts another interesting shot!


Saturday, we set out to hike to one of the higher ones. Sometimes ya gotta stop for a drink!
Gus needed a drink, too!

3 miles in, we get to Sawtooth Lake and Mountain. Do you see why that ridge is called Sawtooth?
IT's an absolutely beautiful spot and of course...Scott found the makeshift boat ramp!
We hiked along the edge and on the north side, we found this beautiful sandy beach!
We hiked our 3 miles back and enjoyed a great dinner. I turned to look out the window and there was this beautiful bald eagle. He sat there for quite some time! (the camera was super zoomed, it was probably 2 or 3 hundred yards away)
We got back Sunday and Ed and Cathy came to visit. Here's my cute kids!
And little dah dah!
And look who came to visit Thursday night! Uncle Bill!
And cousin Bonnie! No, Bonnie wasn't talking on the phone. I had complained to Uncle Bill that his voicemail was full and he had never even set up his password or account after 2 years! So Bonnie was in the process of going through and deleting messages for him, ffs. lol
Whew...time flies, but it's worth it when we get out and have a good time doing so!
Make it a good weekend...because...

I'm still scraping paint!

Day 2

Going well! 177 names to learn, still waiting to get into my own classroom, hopefully tomorrow! Winging it in another room...lots of cute kids, looks like a great year!

RIP Ted Kennedy!
