We have had a fun couple of weeks. A couple of weeks ago my Dad, Barbara,Kenzie, my kids and I went hiking up to a beautiful waterfall. At first the kids were a little whiny about walking so much but once the trail got a little rockier, prettier, and harder they loved it!! The waterfall at the end was definitely worth the climb! It is the same hike we took a few years ago with Chris and Jen so it was a nice remembrance of that as well!
I just can't get over this picture...for any of you who know Brayden well...the irony of the word danger under him on the rock makes me laugh. I didn't even notice it until I got home and put the pics on the computer!!
If you notice up in the recesses of the cliff is Jordan...this was a great accomplishment as he is terrified of heights...
The kids and I!!!
Grandpa and Brayden!!
The end is in sight!!
For the 4th of July Barbara, her kids, and my kids and I went to the Miller's cabin in Island Park, Idaho. We had a great time!! There was a lot of canoeing, playing, and just plain chilling out!! The morning of the 4th we were roused out of our beds by a loud horn that kept going off and finally the kids came and told us there was a parade. So we ran to the end of the lane and enjoyed a parade-cabin style-lots of four wheelers, decorated bikes, trucks hauling boats, and, of course, candy!! On an interesting note, we saw Jordan's school teacher and family in the parade-small world! Later we went and sat on rocks at the waters edge and watched fireworks over the water which was very pretty!! It really was one of the best 4th of July's I have ever had!! On a sad note I did drop my camera into that beautiful lake and it has never recovered, so for a while my blog may be pictureless. :(
Brock, Caleb, and Brayden impatiently waiting for the fireworks to start.
Barb and Josh
Jordan, Tristan, and Kenzie- professional canoers!
Caleb and Connor
Barb, me, and a whole lot of boys (5 to be exact!!)- we were not professional canoers- we kept going in circles and almost hitting other peoples docks or boats- for some reason we did much better the next day when Barb was in charge of steering-go figure!! :)
We have had a lot of fun and are looking forward to camping next week! It is nice to get a break here and there from the "real world"!
