Judging from the road (or trail), you might think we were in an SUV of some kind...a suburban maybe. Wrong. We were in a Chrysler Mini Van.
Jeff's fish-cleaning lesson.
Smoke...from way in the air, this goes as far as you can see in both directions.
Flyin around
The best crash picture ever
Jeff surfing
This is the kite for kite boarding....at one point it lifted Tucker out of the water, then dunked him back in before it launched him 12 feet in the air! This is what all the boys got hurt playing with.
Tucker trying to get the kite to go where he wanted it to.
Jeff and Jake on the tube...Luke was pulling and eventually sent Jake skidding across the water on his back.This weekend, we went to Cascade (in Idaho) to spend some time with the Wilkins. It was SUCH a good time. Jamison and Memory (his girlfriend) even came. We hoped Trevor would make it too, but he didn't end up coming.
It's only been in the last year or so that we've started doing things with Jamison and Trevor...before that we were kind of like 2 different families. As time goes by though, we get closer and closer, as we spend more and more time together. I feel joy all the way to the bottom of my soul when we're all together...it's like our family is finally becoming complete.
Anyway, enough of that...it's making me cry. We did lots of stuff this weekend...we spent lots of time on the lake, in Uncle Marq's boat...everyone got all the chances they could want to tube, wake board and surf. Jamison took everyone flying 3 at a time in his little plane. We went over Cascade, then over to McCall. Then he took us way up, so we could see the forest fires, which were incredible. The boys spent several hours playing with Luke and Tucker's kites...the ones for kite boarding. I think they all came back with serious scrapes and bruises, but they had fun. 8 of us went fishing and caught just 4 trout, but we had a good time, especially Jeff and Jake, who got to clean them. :)





I love you people. It looks like it was so much fun! Hudson in his little suit is just too too too adorable.
