Vacation

We spent our summer vacation in Idaho and had a great time. In honor of ourselves and our 4 year anniversary, Taylor and I dropped the kids off with Grandma and Grandpa in Idaho Falls and went up to the cabin for some time without them. Which was wonderful. Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Casey and Max and Anna joined us the next day and we spent some quality cabin time together. Max and Anna loved all the fun on the water--the boat, paddle boat, wave runners; and they loved the fun standing next to the water and throwing rocks in.

Anna got a fun, early birthday present from grandma and grandpa--princess attire, which she has worn and worn already.

Our next stop was Colter Bay--a couple hours from Island Park. We stayed in some adorable cabins there, walked along the trails next the the blue harbor and blue mountains, took turns on the bike trails, and threw more rocks into the water.

And when we'd just about had as much fun as we could handle we found Ben and Jerry's ice cream which extended our happiness even on the verge of a double melt down.

Our last stop was back in Idaho Falls for Grandpa Davis's 80th birthday surprise party where we had a great time with all the Davises.

We let eighty balloons go at the party--Anna and Max got excited and let their balloons go up in the sky with everyone elses, but then both immediately regretted it and wailed till someone took pity on us and scrounged up two more balloons.

We also fit in a trip to the Idaho Falls Zoo, which is one impressive little zoo. We paid our respects there to the lovely duck pond fence that Taylor completed for his Eagle Project back in the day. It is still keeping the little duckies where they are supposed to be.
And we petted the bunny for a long time, till it was apparent the the bunny was very afraid for his life.

And now we are back home and feeling very vacationed and like we have definitely fit in a lot of fun this summer.
