Our adventure continues...

We went camping at Henry's Lake up in Idaho. My parents, Todd and Alynn, Elizabeth, Caroline and Louis, Rhett and Shantel, Kade and Ryker and Sid and Sparky and us all headed up! Henry's Lake is beatiful! We had a lot of fun. The first night we ate dinner and then sent the kids and older boys out to fish with no luck. The next day, the older boys went fishing with no luck then we ate breakfast, girls had pedicures, then we all headed to West Yellowstone for some shopping. When we got back to camp they went fishing again with no luck. That night are big plans were to have dutch oven dinner- BBQ ribs, Chicken strips, cheese-bacon potatoes, apple and berry cobbler. Yummy! Then the all mighty storm hit! We waited thinking it would just pass over, but it only got worse. We tried to salvage any of the dutch oven dinner that we could, but ended up with the ribs and chicken and some of the potatoes were done. Todd and Alynn's tent broke in half and the trailer my parents were staying in started leaking so at last my parents and Todd's family decided to head home. Us and the Chatelains ate what dinner there was and played games in the trailer! The next morning- we had a huge mess to clean up- and then we decided to head home. What a fishing trip!!!!- no fish! So we went home and then took all the kids to the fish hatchery for a guaranteed fish catch. They caught 8 fish and Brandon grilled them up for him and Paige while Conner and I ate Chick Fil-A. All in all it was a lot of fun, but a lot of work. Next time- WE ARE STAYING IN A HOTEL!!!!!

It is the first day back to school! Don't they just look sooo excited to return? Well, they may not be so happy to return, but Brandon and me are ecstatic! It was a nice summer and we had a lot of fun, but to get back into a routine is just wonderful. The kids got their hair cut and colored (thanks, Lisa) for school. Paige is in 6th grade this year and Conner is in 4th grade. They get to go to the new built school this year. It is huge and really nice for the kids. I took the day off to get them situated in their new classes. It is nice to have nothing to do! Well, hopefully the day goes well for them and they will love their teachers. That is always a plus!
