Saturday morning the 17th of August we hit the Rotary Trail at 9am.
JJ was determined that Uncle Joshie would get him a Cat Tail from the trail.
The Battle of the Cat Tails!
Father and son #1. Our 2nd son was working this Saturday.
After our walk Greg and I headed home while the rest of our crew headed up to Bayles Mountain. An outing on the water was planned for after Dan’s work hours. That post is coming soon.
The Rotary Trail runs along and through the golf course and it is beside the high school and our little Colville airport. We noticed this huge craft at the air field. We’ve had several air resources around to help with the fires in our region.
Back to the current Saturday we had a nice amount of rain overnight and a lot of wind. There were many power outages around our county. Thankfully we weren’t part of any outages. Hopefully the storm aided instead of created more fire danger. The Fair is in town since Thursday and runs through Sunday. Greg and I went to the Fair on Thursday morning. Boise Cascade, a local company, pays for the first 1200 fair goers on Thursday and we were 2 of those 1200! There is a Fair parade this morning and I’ll meet up with our Grands for that. Other than that it will be a quiet Saturday.
Mornings around here are feeling more and more like Fall. Enjoy your last full weekend in August.

…you sure live in a gorgeous area!!!
We agree, Tom! Hope you are doing well.
You do live in a beautiful place, the trail looks nice. Great photos of your family.
Take care, enjoy your weekend.
We are thankful to live in this beautiful part of our world. Thank you, Eileen!
Good for you to keep the walking routine – that trail looks beautiful! Can’t believe that September is on our doorstep already! I love Fall but dread what comes after …
Sounds like it was a perfect day.
Glad your power didn’t go out.
Nice that you went to the fair too and got in for free!
Have fun at the parade.
You live in a gorgeous area, love the scenery. So nice for you all to get together and enjoy those surroundings. Great photos! Happy weekend to you Ellen 🙂
What a great and beautiful place to go walking. I’d love it there.
Family walks together are such fun. I love seeing how the little ones engage with nature and use their imaginations. The cat tail duel would have been fun to watch.
Lots of rain overnight here, too, and a dull morning, but this afternoon the sun came out and warmed things up.
Glad to hear you have had rain Ellen. Hopefully that will lessen fires in your lovely area. Nice to see all the family enjoying each other. Happy weekend!

What a great family activity! Your grands are blessed with so many people who invest in their lives! Free fair tickets is a win!
Ahhhh . . . we’ve had some hints of fall in our weather this week too, and I love it! I know that there is more heat to come, but it is promising.
That’s a beautiful trail. It looks like you had a beautiful morning. Hope the fair was fun!
