Grandma's Boy Party 2011 Day 1

The week between the Karl Shuldberg Reunion and the Marvin Saunders Reunion, Grandma had her summer "Boy Party". Day 1 started wih driving the golf carts. Then we had to shoot the BB Guns. It started with filling the guns with BB's in the drive way.
Then it was up to the "bubble pond" for some serious shooting.
Even Grandma had to show them how to do it.
Then the boys put sticks down a pipe that travel several hundred yards and come up in the bubble pond.
Then it is up to the fishing pond. Grandpa says "Fishing is boring, Catching is FUN"!!! The boys had fun.
Everett was first to bring one in.
Then Carter got his.
Finally Jace got one. What a great hour spent with success for all.
Then they even got to help with the cleaning.
What a busy day and it was only Day 1. What else can we do?

Grandma's 90th Birthday and Reunion

We got home from Seattle on Sunday July 10th. On the following Friday we had Eurdora's 90th Birthday Party and the Karl Shuldberg Family Reunion. Friday night there were 48 people spending the night and Saturday we had 103. It was great fun. These 2 pictures are putting up the canopies. It sort of looks like "how many Shuldbergs does it take to put up a canopy?"

Lots of visiting.



Fun and games.



Tents and canopies. It is nice to have a big yard.









Then it was breakfast on Saturday morning. Yum Yum!!







Then the guest of honor. 90 great years and more to come. Below are Eudora and her sister Adela.








Then it was time for lunch for the 103 people. We did not even run out of food.


















This was a great weekend with fun had by all. It was great to celebrate Eudora's Birthday. She is a great mom and grandmother. It was great to see the cousins get acquainted and end up friends. If you check out Facebook they are even friends there.

Glacier National Park

After leaving Seattle we traveled to Missoula Montana and then headed to Glacier National Park. It was a beautiful drive up into the mountains.







Lots of beautiful lakes, rivers and waterfalls.









It was a very windy day at Lake McDonald. Not quite as pretty as glassy water would have been.





This canyon had a lot of Mountain Goats. The white dot on the cliff below is a goat.













An interesting fact that was noted is that 150 years ago there were 180 glaciers. Now there are only 25 and they will all be gone by 2030.











Check out the little red bird on the exposed roots below. Very pretty.













This a great place to visit. Beautiful scenery. Nice trip.
