Day 3 ,4, and 5 in Idaho!

The next day Becky and he kids met us out at their land and let us ride horses with them. It was so nice of them to go through the work to do that for us. The kids had a lot of fun!



While Marlee and Casen got to ride horses, Grandma Q took all the "big girls" shopping! They are ages 7-9 and all have summer birthdays. They had so much fun together picking out matching outfits!


That night we went to see Preston and Katie, some good friends of ours! Preston and Ryan lived together in college for a while and have been great friends since. They have 3 adorable kids and together our 6 kids had a blast!


The next morning we went to meet a bunch of my cousins at the park but got rained out! 3 of my cousins and their families all live in a house that is divided into 3 apartments... how fun would that be! We had a great time seeing everyone and it was a special treat that Loren and Jill were in town too!


That afternoon we headed up to Grandpa Dale's cabin! First things first.. we had to pull out the toys right away! Rachel and Brookie caught a ride up with us so we all loaded on the four-wheeler together.


We took the kids out on the Razor and these two cuties got the top seats! It was so fun!


          Had to have potatoes, we are in Idaho afterall and Grandpa does own a potato factory :)


The next morning the rest of the gang arrived and despite the cold weather they headed out on the water.


                       Marlee loves all her Uncles, but warmed right up to her Aunt Becca Lecca :)



The kids spent most the time in the hot tub but Case got brave enough to jump off the dock into the freezing water! Crazy kid! I was proud of him though :) Poor guy was seriously in shock at how cold it was, I felt bad! The look on his face was priceless. He ran right back to the hot tub.


Marlee always wants to be one of the big kids... but I want to keep her my baby while I can!


The boys went fishing that morning and Grandpa Dale carved the fish for dinner that night.


Killer outfits from the dress up box. These girls were cracking themselves up, it was way too cute to watch. Brinley's pants were HUGE on her and we kept having to tie them up, she got pretty creative.


Casen learned to ride the motorcycle! Definitely a step up in difficulty from a four-wheeler. He did pretty good but dirt bikes sure make me nervous!


We went on a walk to a "water-fall". The whole gang went and Marlee hitched a ride with Uncle Jeff.


Turns out we couldn't make it to the waterfall! We stopped at the no trespassing sign :) All the kiddos with Grandma Q and Grandpa Dale.


Uncle Greg brought a "candy cannon."  You actually set it off like a firework but it launches candy into the air. Sometimes the candy would be blown apart or melted, but the kids sure had fun running around to find it!



We headed home the next day and made a stop at a huge waterfall (forgot the name!) It was beautiful! So loud and powerful.



Hiking back up! I ended up having to carry a kicking and screaming two-year old back up :)

  1. Joe and I rode horseback to that waterfall when we were dating. Beautiful! What a fun time in Idaho. How nice that everyone was able to get together while you were there.
