Idaho River Cabin

We had an incredible vacation at Phil's Family's River Cabin in Idaho.  Phil's parents flew the kids up and Phil and I drove to meet them.  Here are the special bags I prepared for the long car ride back home with the kids.  Each one was to be opened every hour and contained books on tape, toys, car bingo, treats, and games.  Everything I could think of to keep our little ones occupied in the car:) This still didn't eliminate the hourly bathroom stop for kids who always insisted they had to pee!!!  

Here is the awesome cabin that Phil's dad built.

Jace & Cousin Joey trying out some new dance moves by the campfire...

Blackberry picking...yum! 



Choo-choo train fun with cousin Katie as the conductor!

Story time with Grammie

We enjoyed a lovely breakfast at this local restaurant.  Kids especially liked the decorations:) 

Cool Dude! 

Beautiful Countryside & River Falls 







Kids first time with sparklers 





Annie, Jace, Joey, Kailey, Katie & Ashlyn (these kids were inseparable this week...they had so much fun together!) 


Like Father, Like Son 









Turning Joey into a mer-man


 Here's Joey taking Ashlyn across the river to a great spot where they caught tadpoles and frogs.  What a cool experience!  
Unforgettable memories!!!
