1st annual Hough Happy Holiday in the High Lands

Scout Camp

Ben and Jason went to scout camp on Saturday. They had a really great time!!

Not real sure who thought it would be a good idea to give Ben a gun....

Pretty good job with the bow and arrow!!

Ready for an emergency-

I love this smile!!!!!

Fun weekend

This was a scary (at least I thought it was scary) cable car we took up the bluff by Josey's apartment.

The view from the top of the bluff

Josey and Sam looking for fish at Eagle Point park.

Sam just loves Aunt Josey

Sam and I went to Dubuque to visit Aunt Josey. It was really nice seeing her.

Tiny bubbles.....

Sam had fun playing pirate. He was using his 'sword' to pop the bubbles Ben was making!!!





The kids LOVED playing with the bubble maker Grandma June and Grandpa Jim got them!!
Ben kept saying "this is fun!".

Singing in the rain

Since I finally figured out how to download videos--I thought I should share this. Sam was in the pool while it was raining the other day. He was singing his 'song'.

Ben's t-ball
