Cousin Camp - Idaho

We made our trek down to Idaho for the MOST important of holidays:  Christmas no - Thanksgiving - guess again.....Pioneer Day of course!!  We had a great time attending the parade despite the rain, and enjoying a lot of laughs with our family!  We love being closer!!!  The next day we attended Jake's farewell - he leaves on a mission to Sydney Australia in 1 week!!!  Then Shawn flew back to Yakima, while the kids and I stayed and continued to go Cousin Crazy!!

We hit up Rexburg Rapids - and had our fair share of snocones!! YUM!

Played at the Robinson and Ashton casa's, where Lyv and Max were pampered with love by their dotting cousins. Sam had his first Lava Hot Springs experience which he loved!

We attended Cousin Camp with the Hill cousins which included a 4 wheeler ride to the Sand Dunes (where Nate dug a 4 foot hole for the kids to jump in). I shocked the socks off my kids by driving a 4 wheeler - slowly but surely - showing them the mad driving skills of my youth! I came home with an awesome dirt covered -raccoon eyed face from all the dirt and sand!)

We swam at the Sand Bar - Sam floated the Del Rio, and we hiked Mesa Falls.  Lyv walked the entire way!  What trooper!

And the favorite....the Red-neck water slide at the Kurb's.  It was so much fun! Grandma Julianne even got in on the action. It was such a fun week, and we miss our family already.
