The Boys, Domke and the Office. Buckle Up

The boys still love their mommy, just in case anyone was wondering.  They used her as the landing pad for nap time the other day.

 Ryker also likes cuddling with pillows.

 Speaking of Ryker, he loves himself some Mac and Cheese.

 He rubs it all over and sometimes even gets some in his mouth.

 "Mmm...maclicious."

 "More! More!"

 Wednesday Papa Dale and I took off with some of Megan's boys and flew into Domke Lake for a few days.  This is the view of downtown Manson from the plane.

 There's the aerial view of Papa Dale and Mama Rae's house.  Can you find Rock playing? 

 The first thing we did when we landed is prepared some man food.

 Meat and potatoes, just like man was meant to eat.

 Between wind storms we got in some quality fishing.  

 The boys learned the hard way that if they want to keep the fish to brag they are also going to eat it.

 Cade was cool with eating the fish, but being the city boy he wasn't sure what he was supposed to munch.

 Parker learned that you can make your fish seem bigger by holding it out in front of you for the picture.

 He also learned how to rip the head from the body while gutting a fish.  That'll show him to brag about his catch.

 Here's a pic of the monster that I caught.

 This one was even better.  Now imagine how big this would look if I were holding it like Parker.

 This is Domke Lake looking North-ish.

 Here's our "rustic" cabin.  No power, running water or phones.  Perfect for getting away from everything.  Also perfect for having squirrels pee in your trial mix.

 We hiked down to Lake Chelan on Friday.

 After a trip to the Stehekin to the bakery we rode Doug's boat back to civilization, and along the way found some silly billy goats.

Rock was pretty excited to see us when we got home, and even more excited to try out my new sunglasses. 

 Ryker showed me his new wrestling moves on the hippy bear.

 He does a good job fighting through the bears' double team.

 One sweet surprise that I came home to was the office.  DeA worked hard with Brian to mud, texture and pain the walls.  She did all the venetian plaster in her massage room all by herself.  Well, Ryker helped a little.

 They got almost everything painted.  Rock was a fan. 

 Here is the pain in the front room.  There is going to be a darker shade of waynescottingwaynescotingWayneL.Scotting wainscoting on the lower half of the front room and into the relaxation room.

 Here's Ryker cleaning up after the workers.

 Dea is really proud of her walls.

Saturday the stake had the Father's Day golf tournament at Desert Canyon.  I didn't get a picture, but this is from a year or so ago when I was there, like anyone would care or know the difference.

 I couldn't find my three wood until I got home.  Seems that someone has been letting themselves into my bag.
