We took Riley to the Splash park a couple of weekends ago. He loves the bath so I thought he would love the park. He crawls so much in the bath that I can hardly wash him properly. He liked the park, but there was so many people there, he sat in one place and watched the people.

The last weekend in June we took a short road trip and saw what remains of the Teton Dam. A 305ft earth fill dam that when if failed in June 1976 allowed 240ft of water to flood the towns down stream. Amazingly enough only 14 people died. It was very impressive and humbling to stand at the foot of the dam and know that in the very spot we were standing a major disaster occurred. The area is so peaceful, the river flowing calmly towards the cities and town that 32 years before had wreaked and caused millions of dollars in damage. It was so still but I felt like the energy of the disaster, the people's feelings of fear and hopelessness, were still there. Disasters have always interested me. Despite the hopelessness of the situation people still come together in unity to rebuild lives.

Craig heard a rumor that the Teton Dam was going to be rebuilt. If the rumor is true, I hope we are hundreds of miles a way and they do a better job the second time.

Last weekend was very busy for us. We went camping on Thursday and Friday. This is the first time that I have camped in Idaho. Boy was I in for a surprise. There is no humidity to keep you warm at night. The first night it reached down to the twenties, or it felt like it to me. Riley and Craig were nice and warm, I was freezing. It was also lovely to hear the coyotes sing at night. It wasn't just a few, but a whole pack of them. The second day was warmer 70s at night 40s. On Saturday the Rexburg Legacy Museum sponsored an air show. It was a lot of fun to watch the planes preform tricks. Some of the planes the museum owned others were privately owned.

Here is the scooter and Subaru that Craig worked so hard on. Craig rides the scooter just about everywhere he goes.

Swing Riley Swing!

The tag on Riley's shirt reads Jr. Missionary/Solider for the Army of Helman. He received so many compliments on his shirt. It's a bird, it's a plane, no its super Riley in a stroller.

We tried to place Riley in a swing. He didn't quited know what to do. So he went with what he knew best, he tried to eat it. Than he couldn't figure out how to sit back. Finally, he mastered it.

Riley now weighs 14.7pounds and is 27 in. tall.

he is not crawling yet or pulling him self up on things. He is content with sitting or pushing himself around on the kitchen floor. However he is dancing. When Nina plays her flute or harmonica, he sways back and forth with her. Riley also loves to be outside. If we set him in the grass he tries to eat any piece of nature within his reach.
