As promised here is a post without any basketball photos. We spent a glorious four days at a floating house at the southern end of Lake Pend Oreille in Bayview, Idaho. The lake is huge, the 5th largest in the United States. Our friends the Brysons joined us on this expedition. The weather was warm, nearly 90 degrees every day. The house came with a paddle boat and a canoe, and we rented a ski boat for a day too. The kids spent a day at Silverwood on the rides and in the water park. While they were at Silverwood the grown ups enjoyed a day exploring the lake, tasting local beers at the Laughing Dog brewery, and having a great lunch at a local pub. My favorite part of the vacation was getting up early, brewing a pot of coffee, and sitting on the dock watching the birds and reading. I usually had it all to myself for at least an hour, and then gradually the rest of the crew would get up and join me. This is the view from the dock in front of the house.
Tracy and I had to hold on for dear life when Forrest took off on a bumpy ride across the lake.
This house looks like someone's mad project. It is on an adjacent dock to the one we rented. It looks like a new room in a new style has been added each year for many years. I would love to have been able to look inside.
