Awesome fourth of July weekend. Great weather Fri-Sun, good food and fun times and a little riding of course. All nephews and nieces on Jonell's side hooking up at the lake cabin 30 miles north of here on south twin at the lake cabin.

Friday night bingo at Pinehurst. Bingo is huge on the rez. Broadcasting from the casino.
Jake and Grant learning how to do hobos at bible camp and led the charge on Friday night.




Beautiful riding in the White Earth State forest in the mornings. No traffic and all the atvs in the areas must of been elsewhere. From cabin to high point on Norris trail, 500ft change in elevation, topping out at 2000ft and some pretty nice long gradual climbs for this neck of the woods and hard, fast conditions. Almost up to Zerkel on Saturday. Still quite a few trails I haven't checked out. Could easily do 3-6 hour loops without double tracking.
Marker for Waptus trail.
All the kids. Lots of water time.
Getting ready for the float. Norsk flag waving off the sailboat. Did you see the little flags at the finish line in the tour? Watched the last k tonight.

Max the puppy to add to the mix.


Have to say we were waving the flag nicely.

First time skiing for Jack and up first time. Little curled over but better the next day.


Jens on the rope swing. Jon setting up for one ski.
Kaboosh!




Pump in the red cabin. Still works as good as ever.


Quad trail riding Sunday morning. 2 min intervals.
Never have had issue with the atv scene.
Soccer, baseball, football, badminton....and water balloon fights in the water keeping kids active. Doesn't make much sense but works pretty good actually as the balloons don't break as easily and get more mileage. Easier on the fill and tie action.



Barrack and his friend got a paint job before the summer and looking good.
