Snake River Stampede

My awesome and very thoughtful brother, Jared, gave us VIP tickets to the Snake River Stampede. We had such a great time! It has been years since I've been to a rodeo and I have never sat so close as we did Saturday. We had mud flipping up on us almost the entire time because of how close we were. Jenna loved it, but mostly because she had an endless supply of free food she got to eat for two hours. Adam loved the animals and had a lot of questions about what was going on and I enjoyed being with two of my kiddos and my sister! What a great day out!

Bear Lake: Year #4

We had a good time at Bear Lake this year. This was our fourth year going and the lake is still as beautiful as ever. I think we all agreed that this year is one not to be forgotten. With at least 8 of the gang getting the stomach flu and throwing up more times than any of us would even want to in a lifetime, the little bit of a windy beach we still managed to have a good time. The kids were mostly oblivious to what was going on around them and having a great time with their cousins.
Jenna and Carter have really become great friends this last month or so. If they don't see each other constantly, they are asking where the other one is. So fun to have a cousin to play with! A little walk with the cousins was very enjoyable

Happy 4th

We had a great time the 4th of July. Some of Ryan's family were in town and we were able to celebrate with them.
The Grandkids love Grandpa's new toy! Watching the fireworks. Notice the two in the car watching...:)

So nice to have older nieces who love to hang out with the little ones!

Summer Time Fun

We love the summer time and have enjoyed a few great, warm days. It's hard to believe that July is already here. But we'll enjoy every minute of summer.

Logan loves to be outside and it's even better now that he's up walking around! We visited the State Capitol Building. Adam has been wanting to go back and ring the bell ever since he ran the Capitol Classic. We finally made it downtown to do just that.

At the old Boise Train Depot the kids had a blast. They loved going to the top and being in the Bell Tower. It was a great view of the city as well. But the train tracks were also a big hit! :)

We also participated in Meridian Dairy Days. We've never been before and the kids a good time. They thought the rides were great!
