I think maybe I'll just post the pics and basically be done from our summer trip.
Here is our last stop of World Tour '11
                  Spokane. With all the Daines' Family.

| Some of us LOVED the tubes... | 
  | 
| Others not so much. | 
  | 
| The 'big kids' get a bit rough--- | 
  | 
| But Carson always wants in on the action! | 
  | 
| After awhile he's content to just be in the boat | 
  | 
| There was lots of great cousin time | 
  | 
| Grandpa time at the helm | 
Isn't my Boy super cute!

 
We had 5 of us do our SCUBA diving certification. Emi, Nathans, Lindsey, Mindy, and Dad had completed theirs earlier in the year. David, Pam, Jake, Emily S., and myself all did it the first 3 days we were there. We started in the pool for beginning training and then passed the test in Coeur d' Alene Lake.
  | 
| I might look really happy here...but it doesn't show how nervous I was about the whole thing. | 
 
  | 
| David sailed through it all and I think enjoyed most of it! | 
 
  | 
We did it though, and we're ready for Cozumel and Grand Caymen!

We made it home just in time for everyone to start school. The kids and I were SO ready to be home after a month. It was a great trip though, with so much excitement and lot and LOTS of familY!
