Kalispell!

These boys were so happy to play with Rylan!  They got a few hours of playing time, and they loved it! 

Luke was so happy that Gramma Wright made chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream and sprinkles for breakfast!

Pink cup for Joshy! 

Saturday we decided to go to Flathead, and the boys were amazed at how clear the water is.  They're looking at the bottom here!

The weather could have been better. Little stormy at first. 

But soon the sun came out and the wind died a bit, and it was a lovely day!

We took a picture with just Smiley Lukey.

Look at that wake -- the color of the water was stunning! It reminded me of sea glass. 

Can't beat this scenery! 

We were looking for big horned sheep on Wild Horse Island, binoculars and all. 

We tucked into Finley Point and all took turns surfing or wake boarding.  Josh was awesome and crossed the wave twice!

Mike telling me to drive straight.  Head that way, kath. 

Luke had two epic jumps...this is the start of one of them!

We love a good boat selfie!

Sunny squinty selfie. :) 

It was pretty chilly with the wind, so the boys used the heck out of the heater!

After everyone had rode and had their fun, the boys jumped in to see if they could touch the bottom -- it was only 8' deep and so clear we could see that it was nice and sandy.  

Can you look at this without laughing? 

Amazing!

They took turns with the snorkel mask watching the other one jump in over them. So fun! 

Then they shared the Rocky Robe and the heater to warm up. 

We found a bang up joint for dinner, Flathead Lake Brewing Company in Bigfork.  

The brewery had a shuffle board in the waiting area.  The boys are hooked, as they should be. We love shuffleboard!

They were thrilled to have Jammer Rootbeer (named after the red jammer busses that we rode in last year), and Flathead Lake Monster Huckleberry soda.  See how thrilled Josh is? 

Sunday we went up to Whitefish to visit the Great Northern Bar.  The adults played more shuffle board and the kids played ping pong. We think the score was very low, they spent a lot of time running around after the ball. :)

Next stop,  EZ Air, a trampoline place.  The boys were in heaven!  Luke said he'd been dreaming about a place like this!  I'm sorry for the blurry pictures, but it's a tough place to get a good pic. 

Luke was bouncing on a Bounce Board for a long time...trying out some sick grabs and cool spins. 

Josh was focused on dunking. He got a few nice ones!

As we were driving home, the boys asked if we could go boating. No way!  They asked if we could go to Big Sky Waterslides.  No way!  Can we at least go swimming?  Maybe, if you can talk grampa into filling up the pool for you.  It was only 60 degrees outside, so we thought they'd never actually get in the water but they loved it!

They asked us for some boiling water, but we settled on two cooler-fulls of hot water from the bath tub.  Apparently it wasn't tooooo cold for these two crazy kids!

We stayed bundled up and dry, fully hydrated on the sidelines. Supervising is hard work. 

They set up the mini tramp, then the sprinkler, then jumping into the pool! It quickly became jumping over your brother, of course. 

And to show us how warm the water is, they both did floats for us.  Then they took an hour long hot shower to warm up.

We went to Moose's for dinner.  By some miracle we got a booth, and we settled in for some fierce peanut throwing!

Luke was sinking these long shots from all the way over there!  He made them over hand and under hand!  Steph Curry of peanut throwing!
