Our family ... made their way to our place ...

to spend time in our neck of the woods ...

they were really excited to go for a ride on the quads ...

The three mature women drove up in the jeep ...

as we did not have enough for all of us to ride ...

We made our way to the top of the ridge ... on moms property ... to mom & dad's favourite spot ...

spending time there reminiscing on good times we had together ...

We were not able to stay too long out in the open ...

the smoke was so thick from all the forest fires in the area ...

After getting back from our adventure ... it was time to jump in the pool ...

they sure had the whirlpool swirling ...

Horst was holding onto mom with a noodle ...

so she wouldn't get sucked into the middle ... tee hee ...!!!

Everyone ... except Horst were out of the pool ... it was time for him to sit back and relax ...

floating on a number of noodles ...

until ... Mike decided to dive into the pool ... and disturb his peaceful time ...

Mike ended up joining him in floating around the pool ...

so relaxing ... !!!!

Horst really enjoyed the quiet time in the hot tub ...

I am sure he was snoozing ... !!!

Juno and Rowdy sure liked all the attention and treats ...

that they were receiving with all the company ...

we have had staying at our place ...

the last while ...

It too bad that the cousins were not able to see the beautiful mountains ...

all around them ...

due to the heavy smoke in the area ...

Another fish fry dinner ...

with all the fixings ...

It was delicious ... once again ... !!!

We had a lovely evening all together ... !!!
