Reunion in Riverdale

Yesterday our family attended a family reunion.  Mark's mother's family lived in Riverdale, Idaho.  There were close to a dozen people in the family.  The house they grew up in is still in Riverdale, and boy is it tiny! It was fun to see some of Mark's aunts and uncles that I had never met.  We got to see pictures of ancestors which is always neat.  There is a resort in Riverdale, complete with a water slide.  It is fed from a hot spring.  We took Calvin swimming there.  It was Calvin's first time swimming in a real pool. He enjoyed the warmth of the water. 

Flower Bed

A couple of weeks ago, we put in a little flower bed in front of our stairs.  We got a bunch of free petunias from Mark's mom.  We put a little brick border between the bed and the grass.  The flowers are still alive, and I am doing my best to water them everyday.  Hopefully I can keep them alive. We were also planning on planting a tomato plant that day, but our neighbor ran over it in his car.  It was tragically killed in the accident.  We haven't been able to bring ourselves to replace it yet...
