Lydia's first smiles

Isn't she a charmer!

Swimming at Eagle State

A couple of weeks ago we all went to the Eagle State Park to go swimming and see what else they have there. Aunt Kate was in town and came with us. It was great to have here there with us to help wrangle the kids, and the girls really loved having their aunt there with them. We had a lot of fun swimming in the river and having a picknic. This will probably have to become a family tradition.

Family Campout

We took the family up past Lowman, ID to go camping. Its about two hours from Boise, even though it is only about seventy miles. The road is very windy, but it is a very pretty drive. When we arrived at the camp site we discovered that we had the entire campground to our selves. The girls though that they were in heaven, they starting squeeling the second we took them out of their car seats and put them on the ground. They immediately began exploring, some times investigating a little too much into things they shouldn't. Every sound and sight was the coolest thing ever. We took them climbing and let them explore the river a little. They only wanted to be so close, however, when they felt how cold it was. They got a big kick out of the fox that strolled into our site a couple of times looking for food. Megan has discovered her new favorite food - smores. She has alot of fun helping mommy and daddy roast the marshmallows. It got a little wet when it rained all night, but we stayed mostly dry. In all, it was a very fun family vacation.
