Lyza is so talented! After playing a piano duet in church she sang in a quartet the next week. We are so proud of her!
Lyza and Nixon worked together to make us a delicious dessert
Mason finished building his magical kingdom
The kids playing some games together
We left for our annual Priest Lake camping trip with friends a couple of weeks ago
Slight detour to pick up a chair and some life jackets that flew out of the truck <face palm>
We made it to our camp site
Right after we arrived we saw some mean looking clouds coming right for us and the thunder started. We worked quickly to set up the tent and canopy to get everything ready for the rain and the rain came in like a wrecking ball
Waiting out the rain
After about 45 minutes of rain we could get outside and the kids found some of their friends
Henry showed us around the forest and the fort in the forest
We decided to brighten up the campground by wrapping Lyza up with some fairy lights
Henry had a gourmet dinner of ramen
After roasting hot dogs we had some s'mores
Here is a view of the beach/lake early the next morning
The kids had fun sitting around and talking in the morning
Especially when they got hot chocolate
We made pancakes for breakfast
They played some games
After that it was off to the beach. We bought this inflatable for this trip and surprised the kids with it. They loved it.
The boys also had a blast digging a giant hole
Later in the afternoon we went to the store for ice cream
More digging
The kids had more s'mores that evening
The next morning some of us went for a hike. Henry came along and was my hiking buddy.
Lyza documented some digging wasps that she found
This was our hiking group (Henry took the photo)
Kim and his accomplices
We took the kids for ice cream after
Then it was time to go back for the beach and for the moms to try the inflatable
They all tried to stand up together but were unsuccessful
This is what it is really made for
Dads jumping off the dock
More digging
More games
We watched the Minecraft Movie on the beach for our last night
Henry helped get the fire going the next morning
Another pancake breakfast
Here is most of the group
Lyza found some kids to lead in camp songs
On our way home the road through Priest River was blocked off for a parade so we parked and got in on the action
We stopped in Rathdrum for some lunch at DQ
One day the following week Kim took the kids to Sherman Ave. to walk around and act like tourists. Mason was impressed with this giant Lindor at the candy store.
Nixon found some keys to play at the toy store
Look at those fun puppets
Mason got to crush a penny
And they all got ice cream
My adorable wife got an equally adorable mini cone
What cute tourists
Lyza got to go boating for a combined youth activity last week and I helped out
That same evening Kim took the boys to our beach and they invited some friends to come along. They loved playing on this thing.
We had the most gorgeous sunset that evening on the lake
That's all for now. Take care and enjoy the last couple weeks of summer!
