Camp Morrison
Cahl and Hunter spent this week in McCall at scout camp. They both had a great time, and Hunter is pumped to have earned 10 merit badges! He loves scouts, and is working so hard to earn his Eagle next year. Brinley and I even had a chance to go up and spend a day with them, and it was so much fun! The troop worked really hard this year at camp, and at the end of the week they won the Bull of the Woods award, for being the best troop in camp all week!
High Adventure
This week Jasen was also gone to High Adventure, and his scout troop headed up toward Stanley for the week. The started off by doing the Toxaway Lake loop, and hiked into several mountain lakes. They ended the week rafting down a stretch of the Salmon River, before coming home. Jasen had an awesome time, and I'm so happy he went!
Lake Lowell
Today we got invited to go out on Lake Lowell on our friend's boat. The kids had so much fun swimming, tubing and wake boarding. It was so nice to have a day off, and just relax!
Zoo and Asana
This weekend my brother and his family were in town, so Saturday we spent a family day at the Zoo, followed by a few hours rock climbing at Asana, then everyone came to our house for dinner. I'm so happy that my brother and his family are so much closer now, and we get to see them so much more often!
Gymnastics
Brinley signed up for the summer gymnastics camp again this year, and it was a lot of fun even though most weeks she was the only one in her class. This year she jumped off of the 14 foot warped wall into the foam pit!
4th of July
This year we were able to spend 10 days on Salmon over the 4th of July. It was so nice to have so much time to visit and hang out.
Saturday we went to the Farmer's Market, sale booths and parade downtown, then went out to the Demo Derby in the evening. This year's derby was super small, with only 9 cars total, so it was over pretty quick. After the derby, we went out to some friends' for a bonfire.
Monday was another quiet day, and we took the buggys up to Wallace Lake with Cahl's step dad Jim and his wife Helen. The kids had so much fun on the kayaks and pontoons, and everyone caught fish!
We spent Tuesday catching up on laundry and just hanging out. Cahl and the boys helped his dad with some things around the shop, and Brinley helped Helen gathering eggs and checking on the garden. We also spent time with Gabrielle and her family, and watched Preston for a few hours in the morning.
Wednesday we were invited to float the river with a big group, which was a lot of fun. We spent several hours floating 17 miles, but the kids had a blast! Hunter and Brinley were so excited to have their friends Dylan and Maddie along. We even saw an otter, who swam under our raft! After the float, we had a low key family fireworks celebration, then watched the city fireworks. We had the best view from our camp spot!
Thursday was another low key day. I took Hunter and Brinley to the museum and art gallery downtown.
Friday we hung out at Gabrielle's most of the afternoon and just relaxed.
Saturday we decided on one last buggy ride, and headed up to UP lake. It was so much fun, and the lake was beautiful with its lilies! Hunter even swam around the lake collecting lilies for Brinley and I!
Sunday we packed up and headed home, after a great vacation!
