More Fun in Idaho

I know it's been 2 months but I'm still behind in posts.  These are other pictures of fun times in Idaho.

Brielle and I had an awesome "girls night out".  We rented a tandum kayak for an hour and a half and went up a beautiful river (flat water only).  The water was crystal clear and we saw fish, birds and several families of Canadian Geese with lots of babies.

We then went out to dinner, walked around town, rented a video to take home (which turned out to be really good - "Dan in real life" was the title.  Steve Carrell was the main character.  Great show if you're looking for something entertaining and yet thought provoking.) We ended up the evening at Ice Cream Ally for some great shakes!

Meanwhile... the guys had all 6 children.  What were they doing?  Why the zip line of course!

Here's MacGregor:

Chase:

A cute Daddy daughter moment:

Ainsley:

These two?  Oh no, not a chance!!  But they did have fun playing on the swings and trampoline

Brock:  I know... it's not the most flattering picture, but he sure was having fun!

And what's this?  My baby?  You men put my baby on there?  What were you thinking?

We also got to spend an evening at the hot springs.  It closed much earlier than we had expected so our time was short but very enjoyable!!!

It may have been summer but the mornings sure are cool.  Brielle opens all the windows and the house is full of cool fresh mountain air.  This causes the kids to bundle together under blankets for movie time.

Here's Piper wearing every available necklace in the house.  These necklaces get thrown at the winter carnival parade.  Brielle has been there for at least 4 carnivals and has collected quite a stash of necklaces.  Piper was fascinated by them and wore them most of the week.

Her other favorite thing was riding the horse.  If you come to Idaho, you have to ride!!

Our last day there we had a little birthday celebration for MacGregor.  He opened a few little gifts and we ate ice cream sundays.  It's hard to always be away for your birthday, which happens to MacGregor every other year, but he goes with the flow and enjoys it.

We had an awesome time in Idaho and the kids are already asking when our next trip will be!
