Idaho in July

We spent a week with Andy's family in Idaho doing about every imaginable summer activity a kid could want to do--swimming, boating, tubing, 4-wheeling, playing, eating, raspberry picking, canoeing...and we even went to my first ever rodeo--quite fun, even in the pouring rain.



The view from the backyard...the water this morning was as perfect as it comes...

Lauren, Jaxon and Taya...


Despite his growing aches and pains, Andy can still rip it up on the lake (though he feels those aches and pains for several days afterward)...



This is probably my favorite picture from the whole week--and it was totally organic--she had no idea I was taking this! This was the night of the rodeo, right before the town parade. We got dinner in the park...and this is what I saw after walking to the trash can. Priceless.



We spent a morning with my Grandma Purcell, had lunch together and saw my cousin's new house...


Note: Laura is babysitting this little boy, he is not hers...though they do kinda look alike...










So glad I caught this moment...one lightweight helping another lightweight out of the water...

I could water-weenie all day long. It is one of my most favorite things to do...Andy, not so much.

This is becoming a bad tradition--this happened in St. George also. Note: don't turn on the jets after putting in bubbles. It's not easy to get rid of this...

Thank you for a wonderful week!
