The BEST thing about vacations sometimes is that the men will make breakfast! Chad and Sam started off our day with full bellies with bacon and french toast (i think).
Then we hopped in the car and rode up past mackay to a beautiful hike to a waterfall we did a few years ago at the hymas reunion. It's a good hike and the kids did really well.
And there were lots of breaks for photo opps.
Rylee was probably the happiest girl of all! And man she is not light anymore. Chad and I and Sam all took turns carrying her.
CUUUUTE kids!
The hike goes along the river and once you start getting close you see more and more small waterfalls along the way.
i always love the bridge because it means we are close to the top!
The pics never ever do it justice, but just know its absolutely breath taking! And the spray off after a hot hike felt fabulous.
This shot with sam and nan in it shows how much water is co'ming out of a hole in the mountain! I'm always so curious what it looks like INSIDE the mountain!
Photo bomber!
there, thats better!
The guys....and girls.
We love this family and love that they are always up for an adventure!
After some food, rest and a shower we were ready for some more fun! We hopped on the 4 wheelers and in the trailer and off we went!
Carter was riding a NEW bike from uncle Chris and it took him a few practice rides to get it down. But once he had it we took him on a ride! I was so proud of him when a dog came running and barking at him and he kept his bike upright! I was sure he would go down!
Lots of fun riding out here and breathing in some fresh air. And dirt.
And it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt! I was riding in the trailer and Chads hat flew off and hit me right in the nose! I thought my nose was broken! But no, it just left a bruise and a very sore spot! Glad it wasn't IN my eye.
At night, we played sharks and minows and I think that everyone may have peed their pants just a little from all the fun and giggling we were doing! This was a favorite of my trip. And after another campfire, and dutch oven cobbler, we laid on the grass once it was dark all in a big pile with tons of blankets around us and watched the meteor shower that was going on that night. Moore is a PERFECT place to be when you are trying to see the stars. And we all saw several shooting stars. It was AWESOME! And a perfect way to end the trip.
The morning we left, no one wanted to. We were really lazy, slept in and lounged around for most of the day. The girls found some new friends in the horses across the field and enjoyed talking to them.
And we ended the trip where we started it....at JACK IN THE BOX! A family fav for all of us. Any time we go to idaho we tease sam that we are eating there. It's one of his favorites from living in california and so of course we had to hit it up twice! And you know its a good trip when everyone feels or looks like Mollie at the end of the trip. We had a blast and we played hard! Looking forward to next year!!!!
