Family Reuinion in Idaho Falls

We recently just returned home from a wonderful getaway to Idaho with Garrett's family. I know what you are thinking when I say Idaho but now let me tell you it was a kids Heaven. This house that was rented out thought of EVERYTHING!!!!!!! There was so much to do right at the house that we rarely left unless we needed more food or supplies. If you did get a little ansty there was the sand dunes 10 min. away, river rafting 30 min. and Jackson Hole an hour and a half away. We were also close to Yellow Stone but we needed nothing more than the house it self to stay completely entertained. Garrett's immediate family was there along with his mom's siblings and their kids. It was such a wonderful week filled with relaxing books, great conversation, INCREDIBLE food, and wonderful memories. This home had it all, it could comfortable sleep 40-50 people, they had converted the garage into a sports court and supplied the room with oodles of bikes, scooters, cones, balls, rackets, and more. There was a slide that went from the living room upstairs to the sports court down stairs as well. They also had fussball pingball, Tennis courts (outside) fire pit, horse shoe games, volleyball, a blue pool, playground, pond for canoeing, etc... I am sure I am leaving something out but it was just amazing. The kids room alone kept the kids entertained. They all slept together on bunks filled with HUGE stacking blocks, magnetic toys, foam balls, slides and more.

Late night winding down only to get their second wind before we could put them all to bed.

This room was the Kids Bunk room. It has a blue twisty slide that went from the upstairs down into their room. Then they had these awesome stacking blocks that the kids went wild for. Grandma Sydney, Kenedy and Gavin after the "Igloo" had been built.

Always eating such wonderful food!!!!

Uncle Kirk and Gavin taking a spin on the obstacle course.

When the kiddos go down it was time for the "BIG KIDS" to play. There was some Nascar racing, plently of wipeouts, lots of takeouts, and many more giggles and good memories.

Kenedy and her cousins just posing for a pic. before they head down the slide to their room.

Gavin played lots of tennis, even after stubbing both toes he refused to give in.

Kenedy, Ali, and Gavin cruising on bikes around the yard.

Our bathing beauties catching some rays. This attire became pretty customary as the week went on.

Waterballoon launching that quickly turned into water balloon wars.

Lots of swing time was had during this vacation, and everyone was always willing to push these little tikes on the swings and gliders.

Volleyball.

Late night block wars... Can you see who is doing all the instigating?

Dad and Gavin roasting smores before dad headed out to climb raineer the next morning.

It wouldn't be a family reunion without a horse shoe tournament.
