Emigrent Springs...

Easiest car ride ever, Kloee fell asleep (sucker in hand) and Sydney giggled at my sisters dog the whole time. It also only takes about an hour and a half to get to this campground. My family has been going here every year for quite a while now but Darren and I have never been able to go. Now that I know what I'm missing, I never want to miss it again. We had tons of fun......
Plus these crazy boys were pretty entertaining....
While there we did tons of fun things.....

we did a little geocaching
we went for a hike, Kloee does not like to be in the backpack....
Erikka was nice enough to caring Sydney for me.

We found beautiful flowers
and other weird things
the kids climbed all over this huge outdoor fireplace
"The Girls"
Dad was the only man "MAN" enough to let us take the picture
Lots of silliness...
Loving Grandma
Sleepy Dayna
Kloee kept trying to climb over this fence she wanted to get into the wagon....
more silliness....(Oh my parents:)
Lots of dirt
and smiles
and campfire singing
and of course more silliness....Such a fun weekend!

Boating with Grandpa Allen

WE have TONS of family around, even more then most summers, which we are TOTALLY eating up. Kloee loves her cousins, I'm a little worried for when we move back to Moscow for the school year I think she is going to be bored out of her mind.
Trying to get her to get in again...always a struggle!
I love this sweet little girl she is adorable, Morgan is about 2 months older then Kloee and they really get along great together.
My Sydney, as always content to be hanging out!



Jenna and Ellorie on the Tube, most of the kids REALLY enjoyed this. My nephew after taking his ride came over to me and says, "That was SOOOO fun, my mom would NEVER have let me do that" Gotta love getting away with stuff at Grandma & Grandpa's when mom and dad are gone right? I thought it was the cutest thing.

While some were in the boat the rest of us hung out on the beach, the kids loved playing with all of the rocks! It was a nice evening. Summer is going by WAY to quickly!

Twin Lakes

I look forward to Twin Lakes every year, and I honestly think it gets better and better each time we go and as the girls get older.  Both of the Girls had so much fun and were so good while we were there. It is such a relaxing beautiful place to go!
Kloee surveying the land....
Darren cheesing it, with a glimps of the lake....
I love to going fishing with Darren and my father-in-law, its always a good time (our keepers from one night).....
Clint caught the momma this year....
you can tell how big it is comparing it to Kloee, this trout weighed over 7lbs!
Bubble time!!!
Kloee loved playing with her 2nd cousins that were there.....
ready to go swimming (Ella talked her into it)
What about me???
This is as far as she got for a while....
Even Yunkle (thats what Kloee called Millard the whole time up there) couldn't get her in
Of course Sydney wanted to dive in....
Lovin' Life....

Oh wait those are Kloee's toes!! Grandma Allen tricked her into going in just a little bit but mid calf was as deep as she would go.....
Take in the scenery...all those Lily pads.....
on the last day Kloee finally rode in the boat with out crying and even ventured to looking over the side to see if she could find some fish.....
BOAT!!!!!! (Kloee would yell this every time she saw one as if it were her first encounter EVERYTIME)
There was tons of beavers, and turtles, and birds to watch as well.....I'm afraid once again it was hard coming home we all just wanted to stay a little bit longer!!!

Swimming

This is how Kloee spent the trip to the pool
.....and this is how Sydney spent it!
Kloee has been such a chicken! She did fall under the water earlier this year but she was wanting to go straight back in after it, so I didn't think it had freaked her out to much but well, she still wouldnt go in really so she sat on the side and watched! All well maybe next time!
