Girls' Trip Coeur d'Alene
Cody was excited to spend time with 'Eva' and 'Wiley'-Ava and Lilly. We attempted swimming and failed miserably, but at least the kids got some time in the pool. Erin, Erica and I had time to actually catch up and hang out when the kids went to bed. 
There's nothing like staying up late with good friends. We miss having you here Erica and can't WAIT until your little one comes!

Summer Rundown
This is a catch up of some of our summer adventures, which are all too quickly coming to an end. 
We went camping sometime in July to Kelly Creek in Idaho. Ben wanted to fish the whole time and mentioned that he wouldn't mind a job where he could go fish all the good fishing rivers in the U.S. and write about them. Wouldn't that be nice;) Cody was able to help catch a fish too!

The last week in July we made the long drive down to Utah to spend some time there before school starts. We spent time at the farm and hanging out. This trip really was for Ben so he could have some time at the farm with the horses and with his family before his intense year starts. We went to surf n' swim and to Taggart (my favorite restaurant ever)! Some of Cody's favorite parts of going to Utah are riding the four wheelers, riding in papa's truck, riding papa's tractor, jumping on the tramp and always getting to be outside.
Here's the little man with his hat that he put on himself, sideways.
Unfortunately I was horrible at remembering my camera anywhere...
The next week we headed to Coeur d'Alene with my family. It was nice to have some extra baby sitters! Macey's caught some z's with Aunt Becky at Coeur d'Alene city beach.
Here's little Vanessa, three months old, in her little swimsuit. 
All the kids lined up for a picture. Five grandkids and one on the way! Macey and Vanessa had just woken up and were a little overwhelmed, but normally very happy.
We stayed in the roundhouse, which was (obviously) round. Cody, Micah and Clayton ran around and around all day and wore themselves out. The next few days were spent kayaking, boating, at Wild Waters water park and repelling.

This sign was posted on the tree pictured above on our deck. We all went out there to see the view at the same time when we read this:
Cody and Ben went tubing. I think Cody could have done it all day long - he loved it! I had a hard time getting a picture with his little head in it, but he was ALWAYS smiling!

Ryan, Steph's husband, was our repelling and climbing guide. He's a pro! I had to get home to Macey so I didn't climb, but Ben said it was pretty dang hard.
