Our Fun weekend started Thursday. We went camping for the first time with just our family. We went to the Falls Campground by Swan Valley.
Thanks to Mickie and Jeff we borrowed their tent so that we could all fit. The boys thought it was tons of fun. We got attacked by mosquitos the moment we stepped out of the van.
Shilo was the cook for this trip. We had chicken burgers for dinner and pancakes for breakfast. He likes to do it.
Gavin was actually quite fussy that night. One of us had to always be holding him. Which made it extremely hard to help the other 3 boys. But they all slept really well that night.The Next day we took a hike to the Falls. They are off the road about 1 mile from the campground. It is about 60 feet down.
The boys thought they were really cool. I was really scared for them to get to close to the side of the edge because there is nothing to stop you. They wanted to throw things down the water.
Here is just a little pond on top of the water fall that we let them play in.
Gavin rode in the stroller on the way there, and Shilo carried him half of the way back. I stopped with the boys off the side of the road, while shilo went to get the van. It was getting really hot the boys were tired and moving too slow.
Friday night I went to my 10 year High School Reunion. It was okay. I just wish more of my friends had come. At least we got to eat Johnny Carino's!
Late that night we also took Bryan and Blake to the drive in to see TOY STORY 3!!! It was fun and we all stayed awake through the whole movie and got home after midnight.
Saturday morning we went to the IF Parade with mom and dad. It was cold and windy. That is IDAHO for ya!
We learned you don't get any candy unless you sit in the very front with all of the people. Next time, Bring our own candy!
That afternoon we had a bbq at Jared and Amber's house in Rigby. Kurt is showing the delicious hamburgers. (I love this picture!)
Bryan and Josiah.
It was Gabriel's 3rd birthday and they ate cupcakes. The kids were eating their frosting, then putting more on their cupcakes, over and over. Bryan had a tummy ache. We all had lots of fun. The best was Jalene's homemade icecream and Nancy S. homemade cherry pie!!! Yum.
I also got to go visit Grandma Tietjen in the rest home. It was a neat experience. It was exactly a year ago that Grandpa died. It was neat to be with Grandma on that day. Love you Grandma.

That night we were exhausted from such a full weekend. We did find some left over fireworks from last year. Shilo had fun lighting them off the and boys enjoyed it.
Happy 4th of July!!!
How fun, looks like you guys have been busy! I bet the boys loved camping and I'm very impressed that Shilo did all the cooking. That's a nice break for you Jillyn :) Looks like the party on the 4th was fun too, I'm sorry I missed it this year. Love that picture of my dad. How did you get him to pose for you, usually he hides from the camera! :)
ReplyDeleteWOW! YOu guys are super parents. Your boys get all sorts of neat experiences-a midnight toy story movie. Those are some lucky boys! :)
