Scum

After our day at the lake, the kids got right to playing Scum. 
The would have played this into the wee hours of the morning.
Aaron took a break by playing piano.
Shale got a movie set up for us outside. We watched the Little Rascals.
Another sweet day on vacation.

Payette Lake

Harrison, Graham and Aaron
While at the cabin we decided to find some fun up north a little in McCall at Payette Lake.
We rented two jet skis and had the most fun. 
It was so hot the day before, in the high 90's. Not this day, it was 75 maybe once it got to 80. There were clouds most of the time we were there and rain. It made it nice though because everyone that was there before us left. There was hardly anyone on the lake.
Carmen said,"I'm so glad you guys are from Oregon."
If we don't do things an the rain we don't do anything.

The rest of us played in sand, 
the freezing water and ate lunch while we waited for our turns on the jet skis.
Shannen being fun.
I loved the boys hair when they came back from riding.
Gavin's hands were freezing.

Shale, Carmen, Aaron and I took the jet skis by our selves. It was so fun. We found a 22' rock to jump off. Aaron and Shale did it. I was fine just staying on the ski.
Shannen and the kids entertaining themselves while they waited for us to get back.
Once we got back Gavin, Gretchen and Shaely wanted Aaron to take them on a ride. 
Add  As Aaron was getting on the ski tipped and the kids fell in.
The kids got smart real quick and all got on the opposite side that Aaron was getting up on.
Success!
Aaron taking the little kids.
Graham being silly.
Hunter kept saying he didn't want to learn to drive the jet ski. McKaylee talked him into it.
He had a blast.
McKaylee taking the littles.
Hazel couldn't get enough she always wanted to go faster.
And she cried when we had to return the jet skis.
I think we all were sad when it was over.
But what a blast!

The Cabin

After being with the Petty's for a couple of days we headed to Idaho to spend time with the Robison's at the cabin.
The kids could hardly wait to get outside for a walk. They got Uncle Shannen to go with them.
Gretchen took my phone on the walk. She had fun taking lots of pictures. 
The cabin is in Cascades, Idaho.
Gretchen had fun taking pictures of all sorts of things.
Kambree and Harrison had left before all the rest of the kids. They took the long loop.
More of Gretchen's artistic side. I love the background too.
And more of the outdoors and the cabin.
Shaely walking Hazel over to the teepee.
These two are hilarious together.
