Julyish Stuff...

We've managed to squeeze in a little bit of fun this summer.  I am determined to get better at golf so I thought it would be a great idea to just drag the girls along with me.  They DID last 8 holes but it was slightly distracting to have the clown car with me...

 Fun on a lovely McCall evening.

 There may or may not have been Fireball and Warren G.

 Dan, Jen and Ari got a new puppy.  His name is Gustav and we love him

 Botanical Garden Camp!  Always a big hit.

 Pool day at the Bryans.

Oldie from the week before at Whitetail.

Eli and Delaney!

 And then we hit my least favorite place on the planet.  Roaring Springs.

Thankfully Sara was up to the task of dealing with my kids and

my crappy attitude.  Here's Quinn watching the other kids have fun.  She refused to go on the big slides.  I really don't blame here.  I am always happy to 'hold down the fort' on safe ground.

 Lots of towel/swimsuit washing this summer.  Payton and Lola joined us at Plantation one day...

 Checking things off the list.  Lemonade stand - done!

4th o' July and Twin Falls

After many many hours in the car we made it back to McCall.  It was HOT, the hottest we've ever experienced.  Straight to the water!

 With the heat we tried our favorite huckleberry spot.  Shockingly there were berries - way too early.  But not to worry, there were lots of green berries ready for the picking in a few weeks.

 Caps for sale!

 Quinns first fish

 A classy 4th of July with the Andersons!

 Demon eyes on Bella as she slept with Finn.

 Quick trip to Ice Cream Alley at 11am.

 4th of July fireworks.  This was all I got.  Quinn started freaking out at this point.  I forgot how much she hates loud noises. 

 We made a trip to Twin Falls to visit the McBrides.  We had such a good time relaxing and catching up.  The kids caught countless fish at Bass Lake.

 Poor Marjorie changed a million hooks

 Nice day in Twin!

 The moms and dads got to play golf - such a fun day at Blue Lakes!

Summer so far...

Well folks, this is the rock bottom I think.  I've never been so delinquent in my blog posting.  I have no excuses.  Except that we are on the GO.

So...here is what I found on my phone!

 

Last school project.  She's ready folks.  Decision made.

 Last walk to school for the year with Papa Gene

 Papa Gene also made me this awesome plyo box for the cabin!

 Relaxin at Burgdorf hotsprings...

 while back at home Jesse and I helped celebrate a friends 40th

 I was in the bathroom...

We kicked off summer with some tennis lessons.  Quinn kept the coaches in stitches.  She was always talking and they were always laughing.  Pretty sure I don't want to know what she was saying.

 Delaney is a fierce player
