We had one last hurrah up at the lake before our summer was officially over and school starts.
We went up to Grammy and Pappa's cabin for a whole week and had so much fun. Minus being ready to sleep in our own beds, none of us were ready to come home yet!
The first day the kids begged and begged so we took them on a 4-wheeler ride.
After our ride we played outside on the swing set...
Kayla burned her leg on the exhaust of the ATV so we tied an ice pack around her leg. She didn't sit still too long, so I guess it wasn't that bad of a burn.
"Pig Pile on Daddy" they were trying to wake up daddy...
We made a fire pit for Grammy and Pappa to have up at the cabin. We broke it in for them since they can't yet! The kids had a lot of fun roasting marshmallows and making smores.
These are scott looking for a toy that Matt had been given by some friends of ours. it sinks and the water would get murky when the sand got kicked up. so Scott stood out there waiting for the water to clear so he could find the toy.
The next day we went to a little camping spot. It was in a grove of trees, with a little stream running next to it. Grammy and Pappa showed us where it was last time we went up with them.
After our picnic we headed up to the Minnetonka cave
they have the 7 dwarves in this group!
These had a few names, but the one I remember was straws. they were really cool looking hanging off the ceiling.
The cave has over 7oo steps in it. These ones are outside the cave, but still it was more steps we had to climb to see the cave, ugh.
We played at the beach again the next day. The kids played in the sand and in the sea shells that were there, we had more of those than we had actual sand. But the kids didn't seem to mind.
Honestly I don't know how he sat there, they hurt to step on. I can't imagine sitting in them was much more pleasant!
We drove one of the ATV's out to the beach from Scott's grandparents property. How cute is this shot of my boys on the toys???
That night we had a wii tournament. Even Matthew got to play, well he thought he was at least! He had a numb-chuck in his hand (it hooks onto the controllers for certain games) and to him it was as good as a real controller!
The next morning the girls were playing in my make up and because Matt can't wear makeup Scott decided to do a "boy thing" with him. He shaved his face, Matt got a kick out of it...well we all did!
Makayla putting mommy's lipstick on Alyssa. They loved that I was letting them use my real makeup.
After all the excitement of getting ready, we headed out to Idaho. We ran to Montpelier for gas and some items from the grocery store. They had these bears on the streets of their town, and I couldn't get over them. For those that know me, I LOVE BEARS, so of course I had to have photos of them!
After the run into ID, well technically we were still in ID, we went to the Bear Lake hot springs
Scott had been there before as a kid, but it's all changed and under remodeling so it was even a new experience for him!
The water was so nice and warm, perfect for a slightly cool day. It didn't stink too much either. we had fun splashing and soaking in the hot spring water.
The next day was sunday, so we hung out in the cabin doing fun stuff.
we played games (I won at monopoly-that's a first for me) and the kids did some crafts.
I let Matt choose where the decorations went and let him push them down (or hit them) after I had added glue.
Matt played with this car rug the whole week. (we have to get him one for Christmas) This is the only day his sisters really played on it with him.
On Monday we headed out. So after cleaning up we took a cute family photo out side before we left. It was such a great vacation, we didn't want to leave.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
