Rexburg and Bear Lake

Our other fun outings in Aug were to Rexburg and Bear Lake.  Why would anyone go to Rexburg, you ask?  To see our good friends the Rowe's of course.  We did leave Connor home, though.  In spite of missing Connor, we had to much fun.  Mike and BJ had to spend the day golfing while Camille and I took the kids to try out Rexburg's new water park.  It was a sacrifice, but they did it for us. 

                                                   Kenna and Gracie were synchronized falling

    Hannah on the slide.  The kids didn't spend to much time here, they thought the line was to long.

                                                         Kenna and Gracie in the Lazy River

                                               Kate and Hannah, it was just a little busy

Also on our summer bucket list was a trip to Bear Lake.  Some friends of ours went with us for the day. We stopped in Logan Canyon for a hike on the way up, then had lunch at the lake.  We didn't have a boat, but they had fun playing in the sand and in the water.  I just sat on my bum and talked with my friends.

                                                      Connor and Calvin caught a frog.

Smith Morehouse

The beginning of Aug, we went on our annual campout with Jon and Tammie's family.  It was one of the best ever.  We went just above a reservoir called Smith Morehouse, I believe in Weber Canyon.  I found out later that Amy Jo's parents cabin is up that same canyon.  It's so beautiful.  The girls spend hours playing in the water and climbing on the logs.  We often went on obstacle courses with them.

The boys spent a lot of time chopping wood and shooting bb guns, which apparently I didn't get pictures of.  Con also made a bracelet and of course, they were always eating.

All of the kids spent hours snake hunting, catching and holding.  They really loved this, I certainly don't know why and Jadyn only got bit once.  Luckily they were just garter snakes.  Half of the campground was closed and the snakes were all over in there,  They would even name them, but did let them all go after holding them for a long time.

We all had a super fun marshmellow gun fight.  We only had four guns, so we teamed up to go 2 on 2 and did it tournament style.  Whoever wasn't playing was a judge. It was pretty intense.

Last, the adults spend a lot of time doing whatever the kids were doing and also playing games.  It was a fabulous trip.
