The Clark Family Fun

Just when we were ready to harvest our garlic and tomatos, my youngest brother Franta showed up with his friend at our door! We had so much fun! They stayed with us just for a couple of days and then they drove down south. AMERICA!!! Nourished at Burger Kings (which they called King Burger) they explored the beauty of the Oregon Coast and drove all the way down to the Redwood National Park and back north to meet us at Kettle Falls where we camped together. From there we drove to Glacier National Park and camped a night with bears. It was cold and rainy. We did a little hike and headed to Bozeman, MT to spent some time with Tim's family. The boys went to Yellowstone for a couple of days and then we all met back in Lynden. They drove 3800 miles. They had fun. Here are some moments from our trip. Om HWY 20 hading East to Montana. Our first stop at Cascadian Blueberry Farm stand for some healthy lunch - chocolate ice cream! By the way they have the best blueberries ever! (I grew up pic

A little dutch town Lynden turns into buzzing city during the week of the FAIR. And I mean THE Fair! I took the kids to a Demolition Car Derby - they absolutely loved it as well as all the cows, pigs, chickens, horses and the rides!

A conversation over a fresh baked loaf of bread. Eli: "Mom, when I grew up I will marry you!" Mom: "Eli, you cannot marry me I am your mommy. you will marry a nice girl who loves Jesus." Eli "I see! I will marry a girl who will bake a bread for me like you do!" Eli grew these heirloom beans this summer. They were wonderful! Good job, Eli!

We are back. So much to talk about and not enough time! I will make it short and sweet then! This is our Baker Lake camping trip on a not so summer weekend. Dispite the flat tire, wet fire wood, rain, mosquitos and kids long pants left at home, we had FUN! Hiking Oyster Dome South of Belligham. B-E-A-U-TIFUl view!
