Very nice second to last day in Whitefish.. Diane and I did another 5 mile trail run.. which made for a complete week. ffels so good to have spent that much time running in the woods..
THe rest of the day we took it pretty slow… Max took us out on the boat for a look around.. Gaber got soem Wake boarding time in
home sweet home .. such a huge place !.. I guess thats what you need for 18 people 
the ‘must do’ for the day was to capture pictures of all of us together.. always a fun time trying to aling folks , smiles, families, etc.. we managed to pull it off. Note the Samstones in the pictures
afterwards came the ‘dyeing of the shirts’.. it’s been soemthing we’d managed to put off ’till the last day.. but it went well
then we had a mixed-up feast of all the leftover food…
then down to the fire pit for ‘smores and singing.. somehow the theme for the night was Nirvana songs… interesting campfire singalong..
max used the fire to finish his ‘Daruma’.. a Japanese doll.. you fill in one eye when you make a commitment to yourself.. and fill in the other when you complete that commitment . Then you can destroy it. Max successfully moved out of NYC after 12 good years there.. it involved lots of moving and sorting of stuff. Congrats my son !
now sitting at the Kalispel airport ready to fly back to Vt. it’s been a good week.. Nice seeing my family..
Happy to be heading home. !
Nite all, nite Sam
