Lovin her cousins

We had a great time on conference weekend. Jacob(my brother), Rebecca, Rachel, Eve, Esther and Emily came from Boise to visit us and (my sister) Samantha and Matt. We all watched conference together and had tons of fun for the whole weekend. We toured Rexburg (that part was short :) Went to see campus and ate at Craigos (pizza, salad and pasta). We experienced G's dairy and the 6 of us ate the 13 scoop Holy Cow. YUM!!!!!! Had fun playing games and hanging out together. Grace absolutely loved playing with her cousins. She was soooo sad to see them leave. We all hadn't been together since Christmas. The only thing that would have made the weekend better would be to have our mom and dad here. What a special treat to be together.

Our vacation to Mayfield Lake 2009

Row, row, row your boat gently around the lake.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily......

family vacations are fun to take.

We did not have normal Washington 85 degree weather. We camped and went boating in a week of high 90 and low 100 degree weather. One day a high of 111 degrees. We boated and jumped in the lake lots and lots to stay cooler. We had a great time camping with our family. Played games, had great food and went for ice cream almost everyday. Went tubing and I tried knee boarding for the first time. I did it!!!!!! Dan was so proud of me :) Even though we tried really hard to stay out of the sun, we all got burnt or tan. You know what I was :)

It was a fun time. I didn't want it to end. It was so nice to relax!

YAY for vacations!!!!!

I love sitting in the tube.......don't make me go in the lake......

No baby NOOOOOOOO!

Our Camping Trip to Riverside

Relaxing at camp with the Schow's, Navarro's, De Lima's, and Williams.

We all ate the best food, sat around the fire, talked and played games, went to Yellowstone, and played in the river. What a great 4th of July Vacation.

Vacationing

Staying away from the misquitos and watching movies while the adults had game night! A portable DVD player is really nice!

Lola and Grace

We love Cheerios!

All of us had a great time at the river at Riverside. We played in the water, had water fights, got sunburns, got clean, searched for Dans glasses as they fell of his face and took off down the river. Had a special miracle as Ivan found his frames and later Eli found 1 lens that had popped out. The power of prayer is amazing. Thanks to everyone for looking so hard to find them!
