Idaho-The last leg

So our last stop was Idaho for a sibling reunion with Brady's family. We had a lot of fun doing summer things and hanging out with the family. The cousins especially had a grand time together. 
 Looking at the Llama's (or whatever they were) at their neighbor Marilyn's. She was so kind to let us stay in her home while she was away.

 Levi brought his guns so we could shoot. This year Ella decided to give it a try!
 We spent a day at the pool. Levi bribed Ella with a slurpee if she went on a slide she was afraid of. She did it as you can see. :)
 And who can forget Brighton. He loves his slurpees! Do he and Carter look alike or what?
 Ella had so much fun seeing her cousin Emily. They have lived far apart most of their life. It was fun for her to spend some time with her.
 Most of the cousins. There are two missing, but these are the oldest of the gang. 

 Ella LOVES horseback riding. She would do it everyday if given the opportunity. (Me, horses and I apparently don't mesh well. Try as I might. Maybe next year)
 She's a natural!
 Brady and I took off on a four wheeler ride. Thanks Marissa!
 The kids spent a LOT of time on Nana's mickey mobile. This was after their ice cream run to the Arctic Circle!
 Aunt Amy was so kind to put together a fun night around the Charlotte's Web book. Here they are watching a movie on the big screen outside!

 Lake day! There were canoe rides.
 And sand castles.
 And noodle fights.
 And this. Well, the boys thought they could put this together. What they didn't know was how to do it.
 Needless to say, Don had to save them. :) They made it down wind, just not back up. Good faith effort!
 Isn't she just cute? :)
 Stopped on our way out to see the view of the lake. 
 On Friday it was Brady and my anniversary. Six years! The family was kind to let us take of for a few hours. We rented a jetski and had a blast! The above picture was of the marina. There were huge fish everywhere!

That's all folks. Until next year! Next up...Carter's birthday!
