Labor Day

We went to my parent's house in Cascade, ID over Labor Day...all of us except Ray because he had to work all weekend :(  So I packed up the kids and took the 5 hour drive myself.  Cascade is one of our favorite places in the world.  The kids had so much fun, they got to go swimming in the lake, went to see "Aliens in the Attic" with grandma at the quaint little one screen theatre in Cascase, and roasted marshmallows!!  Grandpa played hide and seek outside with them for about an hour and a half on Sunday afternoon.  It was so cute, I was inside reading and kept hearing Maggie scream every time grandpa found her :)  We had so much fun that these are the only pictures I thought to take!!

Wow, that looks like a great time. I have never been there, but it sounds like fun and some of the pictures you had in May made it look just... incredibly beautiful. Maybe someday I will visit.

I love Maggie's exhuberant little voice. I still smile when I think about her falling in the driveway after the surprise party, getting up and yelling "I OK!!!!!!" at the top of her lungs.

OK, I guess we were "cute"... and proud of it! Check out that perfect toast job on Elliot's marshmallows after I taught him the fine art. Next time I'm going to have to teach them the fine art of hiding. They were all way too easy to find, usually all bunched together with Max hanging around in the open, tail wagging like a red flag. But, Grace and Elliot were like ducks in that cold lake, Max of course, leading the way and assuming the mother duck responsibilities. And, Maggie was "OK!!!!!!" several times on that trip. That is one tough little girl.

Crystal, we look forward to the time you, Matt, and the kids can get back here long enough to add on the 5 hour drive from Pocatello to Cascade. You will love it. When you come, we'll take the scenic route through the Sawtooth Mountains. Breathtaking!

How fun!!! Cascade is amazing, no doubt about it. Miss those mountains so bad! Your kids are going to have some great memories of fun times at the cabin. Cute pictures!
