More Photos - Columbia, CA

I knew nothing of this place until Brian said one day, "We're going to Columbia!" Well, it wasn't one day, it happened to be the 4th of July, and the town was buzzing with small town fun. Egg toss, watermellon eating contest, greased pole climbing, nail driving contests....lots of good, old fun.

 We scored in this shop - ropin rope, hand tooled leather belt for Sophie, leather braided bracelet for me, arrow head necklace for Myles, cowhide change purse for Emma.  Neat little shop.

 Dipping candles.

I think I just realized how far behind I am...wow. Here's some from a super fun day when we drove out to Bass Pro and killed a few hours -

 You and me, both, Mr. Muir!

 And a few from a hike on the mountain-

 And back to Bass Pro-

Good times!

More Summer Photos for You!

 Emma's broken toe...this was actually a few days into it, it looks great here.

 Harvesting potatoes.

 I contributed a green salad to a lunch, and later in the day a friend dropped off a huge amount of sliced strawberries that she thought were mine left over at the lunch. They weren't, but I used them for this....

 Watching butterflies hatch..it was really neat!

 Tigers.

 High Dive show.

 My new, favorite rug.

 Emma had a bad case of "Six Flags Back". Pretty bad burn.

 Above, fort Latham. Below, our bedroom got a buck.

 And our living room.  If you look close, you'll also spot a moose head, and a bass.

 This is after the raft ride, last ride of a long Six Flags day.

 They all 3 have bow and arrows now, and targets in the back yard. That's Bass Pro Shop in the background.

 He caught a huge catfish. It's real, not a prop.  Sophie did too, I need to find the picture...

Lot's of tomatoes!   One more picture post coming........
