A very full fun day.......................

We had Tristen come for the day today so around noon we started off on a day out of adventure and fun. We took Cooper with us just for company for Tristen and because he usually has a boring day on his own otherwise. They have been good together recently so we took the chance. I mean, you know, two boys together........yes. So we started off with bribery and so we went to Target and Tristen got some new Pokeman cards and Cooper a tranformer.
We started out going through Ovaitt a "ghost" town...........one of those small places that just dry up and die off.



It was just going through some back roads to the usual destinations. This small lake has bubbling spots, maybe springs coming up Artesan springs. Anyway fascinating.

This guy flew up, being bothered by the intrusion.

The destination had been Empire to take the boys to the playground and beach. I had forgotten that they had a car thing going on so we bypassed that and headed for the Dune climb. Cooper was up for that but then said the sand was too hot, Tristen who did not want to climb, did so.



From there we headed for the beach at Glen Haven. It was I suppose a perfect beach day. It was too hot for me but was nice on the beach a quiet breeze at least. I may have refreshed my tan a bit.


A few people but not too many most being at the car show I bet.


This guy was there too, along with a small Sand piper


We stopped at the boardwalk and my little Woodpecker was busy again and I saw this pretty Butterfly so was worth the stop.


I surprised the boys by stopping at the favourite swimming hole and they had so much fun.


I asked Cooper is he was peeing, what do you think?

We headed home and stopped at the Hay Loft for supper.

The boys enjoy the game room at the Hayloft so 2 dollars in quarters is worth the peace haha


So that was the end of a fun filled day.
