Airsoft afternoon
Friends from church invited the guys to play airsoft this afternoon. They came home sweaty and tired and excited to play again.

First CC race 🏃
Shecklet #2 is giving cross country a try as a way to get in shape for the ski season. I’m super proud of him for trying something new.
Guys trail ride 🚵
Jake took the boys on a new single track ride tonight. They all enjoyed it and can’t wait to go back.
Apple orchard visit 🍎 🍏 🍎
Shecklets #1 and 3 spent the day with Aunt Larissa while Shecklets #2 and 4 went with Jake and me to the lake to help take out and wash down the dock. Larissa took them to the orchard where Grandma Patti works each fall.
Here are some of the latest “how tall” stats for 2021.
Pine Cones 🌲
These enormous pine cones arrived from NV. Shecklet #3 and his Aunt Bri and Uncle Jason found them on a hike, Aunt Kari baked them when she was visiting Jason, and Jason sent them. They are amazing!
Tahoe trip 2021
Shecklet #2 had the trip of the summer thanks to his grandparents, uncle & aunt. This kid got to experience everything from flying high (literally) to getting down and dirty. His aunt wrote an amazing recap of his week with them on her blog. I’m so grateful she took the time to document the things that they did. She provided us with WAY more detail than our 13 year old! Bri included numerous photos of their adventures on her post, but here are a few of them as well.
Before he left for his trip, he needed a pair of shoes that would grip, not slip. These fit the bill.
The travelers had an early morning flight. I dropped them off before 4am.
The kitties made sure to warm up the bed for Shecklet #2. First day they hit the bike trails.
Day 2. The first 4 miles of this bike ride were up hill. But they made it!
Always the jokester!
They had clear skies to start the trip, but the fires eventually impacted the views.
Ride stats:
Parasailing with his aunt and grandma. Shecklet #2 got to go twice!
Camping with Uncle Jason and Grandpa.
Hiking with Jason and Bri. The views are amazing!
This terrain area was inspiration for making a track back home at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. The picture of Shecklet #2 launching off the jump is one of my favorites from the week.
Check out the size of those pine cones!
Heading out for another ride. It’s awesome to have an uncle that can tire a teenager out!
Per the stats: Lunch Walk
Off road drive with Jason and Grandma.
Like I said, Shecklet #2 had an amazing summer adventure! He’s already talking about going back during the winter to experience the ski runs with snow. We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of family for giving this kid a vacation to remember!
Nissedalen fun 2021 – 3
Family time with cousins at the lake. The kids always have a great time together! Shecklet #2 also brought his friend for the day – tubing was a highlight as usual.
