July 2012 - Week 1

Ahhh, we are home again and getting settled back into normal, boring life again.  We had a wild few weeks there with non-stop action.  We are all pooped to say the least.  Time to whip the kids back into shape and do some laundry.  No more 10pm bedtimes and no more hotdogs...for a while anyway.  We got to spend the 4th of July in McCall and it was great.  We saw old friends and made new ones..it was perfect and the weather couldn't have been any hotter, literally. 

It was 92 yesterday.  Thanks hot for McCall people!

We kicked back in the beach on the 4th.

These two fancy themselves cowboys but really they are sipping on white wine spritzers.

 Tip the paddleboard is a fun new game

 Our slide from Boise is getting lots of use in McCall!

Uncle Scotty and Aunt Stacy visited us from Spokane.  So fun to have them tour Boise and get to spend time at the lake.  The girls ADORE them!

 Meredith and Marley got pretty brave swimming out to the boats

 Josh Arevelo and Quinn bonded over some Pirates Booty.

 Delaney got a lift from Uncle Scotty.

In the evening we headed up to King Pines to have dinner with the McKibbons.

Lots of kids in red, white and blue.  Run for your lives!

 Adults riding tiny bikes is always funny.

 Getting loud in the driveway

 The perfect spot to light fireworks is right next to your truck...

 4th of July fashion

 Not sure what this is here.

 Dylan didn't get the memo about the red, white and blue.  I guess pink works?

Note that Quinn is nowhere to be seen.  She headed for the hills when the Pop Its came out.

 We got to spend some time with the Bryans.  Uncle Scotty once again entertains!

 Stacy and Dylan Beeson, Stacy Meredith and Jesse. 

 Quinn and Thomas!

Dinner at our place with the Kings and Beesons.

Quinn and Henry sharing some laughs and salad.

Quinn needs some girlfriends I guess?

 Lucy and Delaney hamming it up

 We did a little tubing...

 Quinn did a little boat riding

 The girls favorite new attraction is Barney the puppy.

Other peoples puppies are the best!

 We got to visit Disneyland McCall (aka the Darmodys cabin).

First there were paddleboat rides.

 Then trampoline jumping

 Then water mat sprints

And finally the megaslide.  Meredith never actually went down.  Too chicken.

 Quinn played it safe on the deck.

Thanks Becky and Mike for entertaining us for the day!

Next time maybe a family picture or at least maybe ONE of good old Mom.
