Rafting Trip

This weekend we rented a raft and floated a 30 mile stretch of the Missouri River. The fishing was good- for most of the boats we passed. We didn't catch any! Just a few bites.

We camped along the river in a nice spot. The beavers splashed in the water in the middle of the night so Shadow was tense and was trying to act like a brave guard dog in the tent.
Here's Brandon getting in some casts:

Water was chilly!

Independance Day

Happy 4th of July! We spent the day doing chores but also made time to play in the creek:

We also went to a fireworks show. I found out you can make some neat effects by moving the camera around while it is taking pictures of the fireworks:
