View from the pedestrian bridge from Lumberville to New Jersey side.

It took awhile for the kids to convince us to get a trampoline. We made sure we got one with sides, and there is a strict "no flip" rule in place. It has become more of a kids' hangout, away from adult ears. Most often when we look out, the kids are just sitting around the edges hanging out and chatting. Sometime they get in a bounce or two...

Went for a walk last night, and just as we left the house, a beautiful double rainbow hung in the sky. We could actually see the full bow, from where it touched the horizon on both ends. I ran back in to get my camera, and in the minute that took, the light shifted, and only about one-third of it was still visible. Happy to get that, though.

I really enjoyed our trip out to the Columbia Glacier Fields. Here, the marker for the Athanasca Glacier shows how far the glacier has receded since 1844.



We were able to walk out to the "toe" of the glacier - very windy, noisy, with a river flowing out from under the ice.

This is not the best photo, but what it shows is the crowd gathered about 10 feet from a black bear. Even though there are signs everywhere telling visitors to stay away from the bears, this group kept closing in on the feeding bear. We decided to leave when a teen boy started to climb a small tree next to the bear.
