This is the cute cabin we stayed in
Cabin is next to Rainbow Lake
God blessed us with a rainbow
... and a beautiful sunset
And a lightning storm

Do you see the lightning?  Yeah, me neither. 
The lightning was faster than my camera
Then we went shooting
Katie's first time shooting
Do you see the smoke?
Dusty is smokin' too
Two darling boys
Zach's funny face
