We did several fun things while we were in Idaho. Here are a few of them:
I took the boys to a water park. (Please ignore the people in the background)
This was a fun kid's toy. The water was only 1 foot deep. So the kids loved it. But I think Tripp's favorite was the Lazy River. He wanted to stay in it all day.
And Deklan loved crawling all over the place.
I went to a ward party -the ward I grew up in. It was a lot of fun. I got to see several familiar faces and new ones too. This was by far the kids' favorite. I called it the Candy cannon. They shot candy, t-shirts, and tennis balls at the kids waiting on the other end of the field. It's hard to see but this is the candy flying in the air.
This pic is blurry, but the guy kneeling on the grass is holding the "cannon"
There was also wagon rides. Zayna made the comment, "I bet you never thought you'd see little Randy and Steve together again." These little guys are both clones of their dads. Steve and Randy are a week apart, and these goobers are a month apart in age.
Blindfolded lawn mower races. Doesn't get much better than that!
Zelda didn't want to get off the horse.
This is Deklan's first time on a horse. I was too afraid to let him actually ride it though. Can you blame me?
I remember playing on this slide when I was little. It's nice to know that some things never change.
We also went to the zoo with friends. This is Allie. She is 1 day older than Tripp and after 3 years we finally got them together for a picture.
Tripp and Taz
Deklan was going crazy for the penguins. He wanted me to put him down so he could get them.
It's been too long since I've seen these ladies last. These are my friends Anne and Whitney. It's hard to believe Anne had a baby 6 weeks ago. She looks amazing! It was fun catching up with them and I can't wait for our next adventure together.
When we got back from the zoo, my mom threw me a birthday party.
And I had to put the flower in my hair. Not sure what kind of face Tripp is making in this photo.
And all the kids ate the flower.
Not sure exactly how good it was, but they devoured it.
Zayna and Mom
Darcy
And messy Deko. This guy ate 3 pieces of cake. What a tank! Now if I could only figure out where all that food goes, cuz he doesn't weigh anything.
Lots of fun and lots of food. We loved our vacation and are way excited to be home with daddy again!
Darcy and Deko (everyone wanted to hold this dirty little guy)
Linnea yelling at all of us to start the games
My team won the scavenger hunt. Here is a pic of our haul:

We also saw a Sasquatch (and no, it wasn't Sarah)! We woke up one morning to find a warning posted on a candle in our camp. On one side there was handwriting saying that sasquatch had mind control powers and said they had to leave several of these warnings to campers. On the other side of the paper was a long excerpt from a book Theodore Roosevelt wrote about a story a man told him about a scary encounter with a Sasquatch! My uncle Scott read it to us and it was super spooky. Then that night as we were telling stories around the campfire we heard an ear-piercing howl. I put my flashlight beam where we heard the noise and all we saw was a tall, hairy figure running away from our camp! Totally spooky! Sasquatch came by the next day and was pretty friendly. He even let us take some pics of him.
Some of the boys did some skeet shooting before we left. My mom thought Tera and her pregger belly looked funny holding a rifle.
