Blaine Lake, Montana, 2009

In August, we went to Kevan and Swan Bradshaw's lake house on Lake Blaine. Deanna's family has spent summers there for over 50 years. We even had our honeymoon at Blaine in 1980. This year was very fun, as always. Brad (Elisse's husband) was able to join us there for the first time. Dani was able to be there with our grandson, Jackson. Jackson had fun playing with his cousins. The skiing was awesome. It was a great week.

A quiet momemt while we waited for the tubers to get ready.
Jackson wasn't sure about this...
Just like riding a bike. Right, Dani?
Brad trying out the wake board for the first time. He was a great sport.
There was lots of glassy water for those of use who liked to ski early in the mornings.
Kevan was much improved in his skiing this summer.
What would summer be without Grandma Bradshaw's dough babies? (aka scones).... mm-mmmm...
The rain was spilling out of the gutter, and Jackson thought he would catch some.


My honey, Deanna Jackson
