Oh What Do You Do In the Summer Time...

We made it HOME to IDAHO! Our kids are A+ travelers; though the last half hour is always the longest: While waiting in a tiny bit of construction just before making it to my sister's house, Cael started to squawk and grunt. Troy belted out, "Come on! We've got a baby in the car!!!"

I felt like I barely saw my older two kids the entire visit; they were so busy having SO MUCH FUN!


They played hard at the Lilya's and managed to squeeze in a little time for food; here's the group making up some yum-o pizzas.



Shad found a pretty good seat and helped Brock make his pizza for a few minutes

Already little buddies

The kids, minus the little guys, slept outside on the trampoline the first night and under the stairway storage room their second night.
Grandpa flood irrigated part of his yard for the boys to play in, not that there wasn't enough for them to do there! 

4-wheel rides, trampoline + sprinkler, playing with the pygmy goats and bunnies, feed the beef cows, ride in grandpa's truck, eat berries and tomatoes from the garden, and not that the grandkids are spoiled or anything, but Grandpa put in a new ZIPLINE (our very own Troy put the idea in Grandpa's head)


Cael loved being outside and slept so much!

Breaking in the skies for the upcoming boat ride


Brock at the head of the zipline
Troy zooming down through the sprinklers



Brock loves cattle and spent lots of time chit chatting with Grandpas beef

We spent a couple of days at the beach (though the second day was cut short because of a wind and thunder storm)

Sand angels
Troy and Eli rippin it up on the lake

And they even let Ann go for a ride with them
Then Brock, Livi, and Jer went for a spin



Grandpa had fun, too


Jer and I getting ready for tube ride
I can't believe we didn't flip out of the tube. You know when you laugh so hard you can't make a sound? That was me during the whole ride!

Needless to say but my arms were pretty tender the next day!
Cael relaxed under the beach tent



Shad had fun as long as he didn't get sand on his toes
Jer took Troy and Brock camping with his family; his camera didn't hold it's charge so he didn't get any pics but had to take this one with his phone cam...Big Judd's Burger!



The Johnson kids took a break from playing at the park for a quick pic.


Here's the 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 year olds! Cael was snoozing.

The smoke from all of the fires made the sunrise and sunset so red and pretty; this shot is from my parent's backyard. We enjoyed the open fields/ lack of trees :)



We had Cael's blessing done while in Idaho so family could spend his special day with us; I'll add those pics later since this post is long enough! See the new posts below too:
