The rains came down

Yesterday evening a little after five, we went on a family bike ride to the reservoir to feed the ducks. After the ducks had their first course, it started raining, lightening, and thundering so we got under a picnic pavilion and we were going to wait the storm out. Five minutes became 30 minutes and still it poured. Megan suggested we pray. We had a family prayer and we came up with the plan that Mike and Jon would ride home and come get us with the minivan. The rain and wind became more and more forceful and everyone got colder. I guess that plan wasn't going to work, so we called Mike's brother Ken instead. He came with a truck and a car to bring all of us ducks and our bikes home. We made a thank you card that we thought they would enjoy.

Dinner ideas by Beth

Another great idea for Zucchini (other than giving many to friends who stop by) is to put steak rub or teriyaki sauce on sliced pieces and grill on the bbq. If you squint real hard you definitely think you're eating poor-man's steak or flavored zucchini.

It's all in the bag

Next time I'm at Vitamin Cottage, the bring your own bags or take a box store, I'm going to bring out this bag and have them put all the groceries in. Go Rams!

Mike's bike girls

At the Cottonwood trail head, the boys didn't want to come. Oh well, it's their loss.
