Idaho Summer Trip 2019 - Day 1

Date: July 11
Location: Anthem AZ, Chandler AZ, Idaho Falls ID and finally Island Park ID!


We left the house at an insane hour in the wee middle of the night.
Yes it was still dark out!
We got to the airport about 5am for our 6am flight!


You've gotta love (insert sarcasm here) boarding a flight before the sun even comes up!!



But we made it!!
Huge relief when we finally sit on the plane and buckle in! Ahhh!


Except this wild one never slept the whole way!!
Oh Eastlie Bug!



So I entertained her while Ryan snoozed away!!



Dad and Lyndsay had already dropped off the Surburban at the airport for us
on their way to Island Park.
So we jumped off our plane, hopped on in the Burb 
and started the last 1.5 hour leg of our trip!

All the kids were starting to fall asleep...except for one who was trying her very hardest to hold on!


FINALLY she gave in too!!


Oh and the AC in the Burb isn't working still.
So down go all the windows!
Aww bring on the wind blown sweat box!
Of course Taylee and I were on the side with the intense Idaho sun blaring down on us!


Luckily we found a blanket in the back that I made a curtain for myself! lol


I really did look this pathetically hot and sweaty and miserable! haha


Once we got to the cabin, everyone hit the ground running and didn't stop until sunset!!
Gosh I forgot how much we love it here in the summer!
We realized that it had been 3 years since we've been up here in the summer!!

Right out to the water!
Kayaking, Canoeing, Swimming, Jumping, Paddle Boarding



Then we took the boat out tubing!



My kids were so excited to be reunited with their Graven cousins!


Anden and Ryan at breakneck speeds!


Kyrrigan and Taylee on a moderate ride


Miss Thang working it!




Aaron, Aisy, Ryan and Laiky went out for a spin



Her Highness still working it!



Eventually we took up the dirt sports to explore!
There was a moose family living on the Island and we were determined to find them!


Well now that's serious bunch! hahaha


Then back to the water again!



Even I escaped without kids for a little paddle board session



Aaron was kicking back trying to take a nap in the hammock
when Ryan filled up an entire tote full of cold water
and snuck up behind him.
SPLASH!!!!
Aaron was literally swimming in his hammock!!
HAHAHAHAHA


Aaron was SO wet and just froze there not moving.
Clearly Ryan thought he was beyond hilarious with this prank! lol


Ok now Aaron decided it was funny too!
But beware...Aaron's paybacks are awful! lol


The Special Olympics....
Long Jumping from the dock to the floating trampoline





2894

Ok this is more their specialty! lol lounging on the trampoline!



The little girls spent hours building masterpieces in the sand/mud!




We couldn't find Anden for awhile.
So I went inside looking for him.
The never ending day finally caught up with him!


Moose Hunt Round 2!





Gosh this place is gorgeous!






Oh how I love these people and this location!




Bring on a week of fun!!
Over maybe it's already been a week?
It feels like it since we've been awake for almost 24 hours now!
Ok bring on my bed...then a week of fun!! lol :)
