Our summer started with a great camping trip with the Crowell family. We went up on the Cub river in Idaho and camped. Abi and Madi were so excited to spend time with cousins. Especially Sarah and Leigh because they live in Washington. It was a great reminder of what is really important. Spending time with family and enjoying the beauty that can be found in nature.
As you can see in some of the pictures Madison's favorite thing was the 4-wheelers. She loved going on rides with dad and anyone else that would take her. And if no one could take her she would just pretend like she was driving them. Smiles were in great supply this weekend.
As a family we ventured to Riverdale Resort. If you have ever been there you know that it is not the greatest. It is more like a high class REDNECK waterpark. However, we still had a lot of fun swimming and going down the waterslide. I have to say that I have a wonderful family. Thanks to two of my very cute nieces Abi and Madi were well taken care of. We never had to worry about where they were. If we could see Quincie and Sydnee we always knew that the girls were close by. I am sure glad that my girls have good role models to look up to. Thanks girls for being so wonderful.
The fourth of July in SODA. This is the Foam party. Who knew that bubbles could be so much fun. Every year the fire department fills the firetruck up with bubbles and sprays them all over the park. Abi loved it. Madi not so much....She was mad because it got on her "Sparkly Shoes."
After seeing this picture I have to say that I see some similarities between Abi and I. She is mine. I am so blessed to have her. Some days she is my only Sanity.
This is one of our FAVORITE PLACES. Jason's parents own some land that we like to call the Canyon. We love summer because we can take the trailer up the Canyon and enjoy nature...and play also. It is the best place for HotDog roast and swinging.
Abi and Jason slept in the trailer multiple nights. They went on a hike up to Mushroom Rock. Abi was so excited to be able to stand on the top of it. Jason said that she was a great hiker. They have had some great daddy daughter time.
Abi's Mushroom. She loved the way these looked and felt. So we had to take pictures.
This is one of my favorite pictures of the summer. This picture says summer to me pure joy. It doesn't get much better then this.
And of course last but certainly not last....My little man Fisher. I can't believe that he is already SIX WEEKS old. Time seems to be going by too fast. I think that it needs to slow down just a little bit. Let my kids stay small for a little bit longer. I sure do love them and life. It really doesn't get much better than this.
