 Ella and Devin never got tired of being towed on the inflatables.

Ziggy, Matt and Jake

 Ziggy, now 6 months old, had a lot of fun at camp in Mossyrock, WA. He learned a lot from the older dogs ie how to fetch and swim.

Fred

 Now Fred has hair!

Alan at the BBQ

 For dinner for 22 people, Alan fixed the salmon he caught last weekend. Kim fixed the rest. What a great treat we all had!

Lauren

 The sun is shining warmly and Lauren is thinking about that cold water under the boat! Her home in Texas is a lot warmer, she's sure.

Devin getting wood for the fire

 There's plenty of driftwood at Mossyrock Lake at the foot of Mt Ranier, site of the annual Ford family campout.

Grandchildren ready to get wet (and cold!!!)

on the inflatables

  Being scared is part of the fun as Fred gave these riders plenty of wild corners and rough wakes on at Mossyrock in WA.

lounging in the sun

 
The sun was great - when it was out! But it was mighty cold when the clouds took over.

ziploc bag omelets by Fred

 Partially fill the bag with bacon,crab, tomatoes,cheese, ham, chopped onion and beaten eggs. Then drop into the pot of boiling water and leave for 13 minutes. Result? An incredible omelet! Fred and Melissa brought 8 Dungeness crabs and a bucket full of oysters from their home on the Hood canal.

new flat screen TV's

 
Alan replaced two old, nearly dead TV's in our motorhome with flat screen TV's today. What a difference!
