The summer is flying by. I have been a bit delinquent in my blogging duties so I need to catch up for the last 2 weeks. Work has been busy and it seems that I have had things going on almost every night. A week ago Saturday, Kristi, I, Jim and Julie Schumacher played "Golf in the Dark" at Riverside. It is a fund raiser for the Rotary Club and was a lot of fun. You tee off after dark with glow balls and glow sticks and play 5 holes. They have the fairways marked as well as the pins. It is amazing how well you can play at night.

On Sunday Kristi, Greta, I, Jim and Julie played in a croquet tournament in Big Sky. It was fun as well, but we were getting a bit run down with all of our functions.

G and I with the "stick" for croquet. I think the more refined may call it a mallot. We had a good time and lost out early. They had about 70 people playing on 5 courses. They used the driving range at the golf course.

Jim and Julie Schumacher at the tournament. They asked everyone to wear white. We had a huge rain storm before the event which cleared and it turned out pretty nice.

Greta was playing around on the putting green. She was occupied for quite a while.

This last weekend was the Montana Land Title Association Convention in Big Sky. On Saturday, we went to Hauser Lake to camp at our neighbor's summer place. We boated and rode jet skis. The weather was pretty good.

Don and Donna Kostelecky's place on the Lake. They have 200 feet of lake frontage. It is really a perfect spot. Bentley and Wrigley were able to run free for an entire day. They had a ball.

G wearing her Bobcat hat "gansta" style. She was a trooper, as always. We took a 4 hour cruise on the lake on Sunday and dinner and the whole bit. As you can imagine, the life jacket she had to wear was a bit much. In Greta fashion, she just went with the flow....what a kid!

G and Kristi on the dock.

Greta tried to take some z's in her contraption. I think she may have gotten 10 minutes worth.

Kristi went water skiing on Sunday as well. Sweet Rooster Kristi!

Our neighbor Sarah goofing around on the boards.

Our neighbor Jim Gardner messing around. He and I had a bit of a battle to see who could get who the best with a splash.
