Vinny and I were finally able to join in on the North Idaho vacation. My dad has
done this trip for the last three or four years and we have never been able to
make it, whether it was moving or a wedding that prevented it!
It was an amazing time for sure. The house is RIGHT on the lake with its own
dock and everything. Beautiful area. We got their Friday evening and took a tour
of the lake on Saturday before everyone else arrived. Wow are there some NIIIICE
houses!
Saturday late Norven, Renee, Jackson, McKenzie, Missy and Kelly arrived to join
us for the week. It has been four years since we saw eachother! The kids have
grown so much and we really enjoyed hanging out with everyone. We spent a few
lazy days hanging in the water, took a trip to an amusement/water park and
celebrated Jackson's 8th Birthday. We had a great time and hope to make it for
next year!
We flew into Boise on Tuesday evening. We spent most of our time there visiting
everyone and just relaxing at home. Fabulous to see my mom, gramma, sister as
well as Mika and my other Boise buddies. Looking forward to Christmas already!
The pictures are a bit out of order, I don't have the patience to fix it this
update :)
