This is one of the many reasons the Grandkids love staying at Grandpa and Grandma's. The fact that there is no required bedtime, not wake up time, and you are sure to be served a hot breakfast even if it is noon.
Rigby Lake was the destination. We figured oh we will be here maybe a couple of hours. The water is cold and the sun is hot. It will just fill up part of the day. Oh no no no the kids swam until night fall and only got out cause the thunderstorm rolled in. We had super fun! However, I apologize to all those who saw my swimming suit fall literally off my bum as Derek and Tanner ruthlessly ran me right out of them into the water. lol
We had a full day we started with fishing bridge, then big springs, and then the search for the waterfall on warm river. After much driving we finally found it and what a hit it was. The kids loved this spot and of course we had to get in the water again.
Event for the Day was Horse Shoe Lake. We had rented canoes and headed out for a day in the Sun. It was a perfect day! The teenagers swam, sunk their canoes, and always wore their life jackets. wink wink. The other kids canoed, caught bugs, fished, and waded. I said I wasn't going to get wet, but much to my dismay Austen had other ideas and I was a drowned rat before the day ended. It was super fun!
Look who arrived in Idaho ......none other then the Nielsens. First stop was the cabin. We picked them up at the airport with a long sign of "Welcome to Idaho." We then packed our bags and headed for the cabin. Of course stopping at Big Jud's for a bite to eat. We settled in watched a movie, visited, and watch Tanner rope the everyone in the room. It is just the beginning of a 10 day Sorensen style vacation. Wahoo!!!!
Dagen was so excited to see that he had grown tall enough to touch on Colton's 10-speed. Not that there were a few bumps and bruised, but he was so proud of himself. Way to go kiddo!!
Oaklen has crossed another milestone.....he can ride his bike without training wheels. Colton had decided he was ready and took off the wheels one afternoon. The kid had help about 5 times and the rest was history. Now the big concern is I has having a hard time keeping up with him on foot .....what will I do on wheels. lol
