Push-ups

Abby's brother is challenging the family to do 100,000 push-ups by the end of the year. This is James and Andrew puting in their pushups for the day.

It's a bit easier in the river, according to James. I think if I tried to do more than 3, I'd probably suffer from hypothermia! This is the Southfork of the Clear Water River.

Boones in Idaho

Hi There! This is where I live! Well, over the hill, down about 20 miles, off of the Grangeville Salmon Road.
This is my new wrestling gear with my daddy. We have a hard time getting to bed as early as mom would like, because daddy doesn't get back from the PT Clinic until 7. Oh man, it's late.

Since we live on 100 acres, and don't have neighbors, we go on lots of adventures, like the Idaho County Fair!

The Sheep think they're pretty cool. We have sheep by where we live with some SCARY sheep dogs that scare the cougars away. (I'm not allowed to play outside by myself because of the cougars. I guess I should get an "Andrew" dog, instead of a sheep dog.)

Daddy doesn't have to work on Fridays since he works 4 10 hour days, so on the weekends we like to go camping. This is a picture of the Gospel Hump Wilderness Area and the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Area.

Peter and I got to ride in packs into a sub-alpine like. It was BEE utiful.

I even picked huckleberries! Daddy was on the lookout for bears. A few people thought we were crazy to not take a gun.

This is Moores Lake in the background.

We also found some blackberries. Mommy got carried away.

Here I am on a walk on a beach of the Salmon River.

Since the nearest Wal-mart is 70 miles away, we've started ordering diapers by the 400's online. I like Luvs more than Wal-mart's anyway.

But Peter misses the Wal-mart brand.

While mommy was practicing bluegrass music with some new music friends, I rode on a BIG grain truck with Daddy and watched the wheat being harvested. This is a bankout wagon, but the combines were cool too. My neighbor was driving one of them.

I got my first sleeping bag last week!

I actually slept quite well this night.

This is a picture of mom sitting by the Selway River right before I hit her with an apple from a wild apple tree.

The tall grass in this picture is called Snake Grass. It reminds me of the rattle snake I saw just a few hours before this picture was taken. It rattled for me, and was a little scary, since I was only a few feet away.
