Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend we headed up to Island Park to do some camping.  I use the term camping lightly cause we went with our good friends the Andersons.  They have a very very nice camper that we all slept in.  
We did roast marshmallows- but we also watched a movie that night- with each of us viewing on one of their FOUR large screen TVs.  Crazy!  We even slept in a heated room.  It was definitely luxury camping.
Saturday we headed out on the Lake.  The kids found a rope swing and it was more than a little scary.  They had to swing out really far to make sure that they avoided hitting some rocks.  It took a long time to get up their courage.  Finally, Brig jumped out and showed them how it was done- then they all followed suit.  The water was freezing- well 54 and the temperature outside was only 68.  Needless to say- nobody skied but we did have fun exploring the lake.
Then we went for a drive and saw some beautiful spots.  We did a little 4 wheeling.  
Big Fish Spring was beautiful.  The water was so clear.

Fish gazing!

We went on a Trek up a hillside- and back down again.
Love these boys!
Head Dipping- the water here was 52 degrees.


Boys are crazy!  Always up for a challenge!
We drove home Saturday night after another movie.  Monday we performed a little Labor, played a lot and invited some families over for a BBQ and swimming.  Good times!  We got a new ice cream maker this year and have had a blast with it.  Several Sunday nights we have invited several families over, made ice cream- played and chatted.   We love getting the most out of these final summer nights!
