Travels and Times of the Growing McNaught Family: What's the family been up to... Continued

When we were in Denver visiting, we were able to take an afternoon with the kids at a trampoline play place. The kids (and adults!) had a lot of fun!

While we were in Denver, we were able to go to one of Jeremiahs Tae Kwon Do tournaments. Here he is being judged on a routine of moves. He placed second.

Another event was the sparring - with all out fighting. Jeremiah again came second in this event. After just 2 rounds, the competitors were dripping with sweat. THe kids enjoyed watching!

Sophie's 5th Birthday Party.

We had sophies birthday cake and presents a few days early, so that everyone could be there.

During the party, there was a full double rainbow outside! Very beautiful!

The cake was just white sponge, with yucky sweet icing. The kids loved it!

Grammy (Eileen) bought all the kids a kite to play with. Sophie was EXcellent at flying, and would have flown the kite all day if we let her. South Dakota is good kite flying country!

Trap Shooting: Blake had fun with some family friends of Marv and Elieen! We shot over 130 clays, and by the end Blake was getting almost 50%. Blake had a great weekend with Samantha (15), their daughter, and was doing plenty of 'boy' flirting which was humourous for us adults to see. He is growing up!

One evening, I went out to take some photos of the house progress, and Sophie wanted some photos of her on top of the dirt pile. She picked a flour and posed for me!

Mountain Biking.

I have been getting out each week with a group of local riders. The Black hills have some amazing trails, and beautifu scenery along the way. Here are some shots of me riding.
