The Awesome Trip to Idaho


We planned a family reunion last year hoping that everyone could come from far and near to be together for a weekend away.  Unfortunately, things change and we were missing some very important people. However, we viewed this as a dry run for next year. My dear brother, Brent and his wife, Sharyn, offered us the use of their "cabin" in Idaho for the weekend. I knew it would be a fun weekend but it exceeded all expectation! It was "entertainment every second". We all participated in bringing food and games and our meals were great. Brent and Sharyn knew every fun nook and cranny and shared all their toys with us. We were so happy that they were there with us. The adventures were non stop and we played outside all day every day somewhere on his 200 acres. Following are some pictures so you might get a small glimpse of the fun we had together.


This was our car packed to the top with gear for the weekend.


The children had a great time splashing in the lake while others were canoeing all around.
 

Every night was a bonfire with smores or smores and hot dogs cooked over the fire.




We rode in the back of the truck to the place where we could fire the guns at targets. Everyone got a chance to shoot.
 







Every child learned to drive the 4 wheelers. Of course, with an adult on the back. Some of the rides were pretty wild for sure.

Our awesome hosts just chillin' and watching everyone play in the water with their canoes etc.

This is a Cabin????

The trip was not complete for Lindsay until she got to drive the dump truck.


How about that wonder woman? She could hardly reach to push in the clutch which had to be double clutched to change gears.
Many thanks to all who came and made this such a fun memory.

I'm glad you did a dry run for us and broke it in. Randy and I enjoyed looking at the pictures. We will all be there eventually and it will be even better!
