We met the Shields cousins for a fun swimming day this week! Marc and Natalie were in town and so we all met at Teresa's pool.
Danny took the Randall family in our neighborhood boating one night, they had a great night on the lake. It was so pretty at Sunset! 

Sunday after church we packed up and left for McCall Idaho! We had a nice drive for 8 hours to Idaho. We took my new car, so there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out in the car.
We had the house this week with Mike, Erin and their kids, and Katie, Adam and Hugo.

We spent the whole week in our swimming suits swimming, fishing, sitting in the hot tub, boating, paddle boarding, kayaking, etc... There is so much to do there and we love it all!

Tuesday we rented a surf boat for the whole day. We spent 8 ours on the awesome new boat! We surfed, swam, went tubing, wake boarding etc.. Lots of fun that day! Adam brought his camera and got some great photos behind the boat. 

We basically went from our swiming suits to pj's every day. We tried to stay at the lake, pool or hot tub until the sun went down every single day. Wednesday was a mellow day just bouncing back from the beach, the lake to the pool at the Shore lodge to the several hot tubs! It was perfect! 

Ice cream at "Ice Cream" Alley is always a favorite thing to do after dinner! Their ice cream is tasty and their servings are giant! 

Thursday we went out on the Payette River. We paddle boarded. kayaked and spent a few hours on the beautiful crystal clear water! We packed a picnic lunch and ate on the banks of the river a couple miles down stream. the kids all did great on their water vehicles for those few hours. 

After the river we went looking for wild huckleberries.  We found a few but then we drove all the way in to the mountains to
"Lick Creek" falls. It's a gorgeous place where the river is melted glacier run off. We saw in the ponds and in the waterfall! The kids had a blast it was super fun! 

Friday we headed to the lake and had full day there. The kids LOVE to seen the the water trampoline and spend time doing tricks out there. We had so much fun with cousins playing in the sand with Skylar, Hugo, and Devin! They are all such cute kids! 

We LOVE McCall! Can't wait for next year!
