Summer Highlights...(So Far)

Memorial Weekend started off summer break for my kids. Which was perfect because my parents and sister came to visit that weekend.

It was rainy and cold the entire weekend. There is my Mom & Ellie at Bear World. We got to feed the bears.

One of the Grizzlies...wouldn't want to meet one of these guys in the wild.

We went to Yellowstone. Bill stayed home with a sick Ellie. Whatever virus she had, spread through almost the entire family by the end of the week.

Kyle, Alysa, Chelsea, David, Jared Rachel, Sonja, & Natalie.

Sisters!

The kids and I...

We made it to Big Judd's.

It was great having family up for the weekend.

One weekend we had a bon fire. Notice it is still cold in Idaho. At least it wasn't raining.

It finally warmed up and we have been able to enjoy the outdoors.

We spend lots of time at the park.

Ellie just being cute. No, we haven't bought her a cowgirl hat yet.

We explored the ice caves.

David & Sonja.

Ellie was a little scared.

Jared thought it was a great adventure.

We made it to the end of the cave.

Daddy & Jared doing a little of their own exploring.

We FINALLY made it to Mesa Falls. This was our 3 attempt.

I love that they all have cheesy grins!

The falls were beautiful!

Rachel just finished her summer art class. These are all the fun projects she has done over the past 4 weeks. She loved it and wanted to sign up for more classes.

I know since I haven't been keeping up on my blogging I have missed a lot but at least you get to see we are enjoying our summer.
