July 4th week up in Idaho with all the Raddon's!

We had a fun week up in Idaho with all our Raddon cousins and family.  We tried to pack it all in!!! We left Tuesday night pretty late.  Shawn ended up getting really busy at work so we didn't pull out of SLC till about 8 p.m.

 WEDNESDAY JUNE 29th - We all went up to the lake.  We set up the big floating Island just to the one side of the boat launch.

 Grant and Cruz catching snakes!!

 THURSDAY JUNE 30th - The boys started working on getting their packs ready to hike up Palisades later in the afternoon.  They left at about 3 for the hike and the girls went to Bear World for the afternoon!

 Ezra had some golf clubs and Lexi really enjoyed playing with them.

 Ready to leave for the hike!

Driving thru Bear World!

 The kids all loved this baby fawn.

 This pig was huge and Farrah tried to get on top of it!

 The rides at the end are always a hit!

 Bath time!!

 FRIDAY JULY 1st - The girls went to Jackson Hole for the day.  We went to a nice lunch out on a patio and then did some shopping and played at the playground.

 The flies were really bad for the boys while they were camping so they packed up and came home Friday evening for dinner (pizza from Victor) and Ice Cream.  Russ, Grant, and Sesario stayed but then ended up showing up at the house at about 9 p.m. because the flies finally got to them too!

 Cruz caught his first fish fly fishing with Uncle Russ!

 SATURDAY JULY 2nd - Some of the group went to Heise for the day and some of the group went on the boat.  When an activity wasn't happening, kids were either fishing, riding ATV's, or playing.

 Lexi got this little gun in Jackson Hole and she was so funny with it all week.

 SUNDAY JULY 3rd - Church, downtime, and night games with cousins!

 The adults had a little peace and quiet in the house while the kids played outside to chat!

 MONDAY JULY 4th - Victor 4th of July Parade

 Ready for some candy!!

 Sam, Aleatha, Rachel, her husband, and Lydia were in Driggs for the 4th and they found us at the parade.  It was nice to hook up with them. The boys haven't seen the Carpenters in a while!

 SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS FAMILY OF MINE!!!

A few of us took the boat out for a somewhat windy night on the 4th.  It ended up being a really fun night!

 Alegra was so proud of herself that she surfed with Ryan, I am too!

 Katie gave surfing a try!

 Sunset on the 4th~

 On Tuesday the 5th most everyone packed up to go home.  We stayed as late as we could to try and put the house back together :).  We ended up leaving for SLC about 5:00.  It was such a fun week. I had fun exercising with family, going on the boat, hanging out, laughing, eating, talking, catching up, and enjoying each others company.
