Cousin Camp Week

So for a week in July my parents took all of the cousins and had camp! They are the best Grandma and Grandpa in the world! That left Russell and I to have a nice relaxing week at home. We went hiking, out to dinners, watched a movie, and Russell continued his work on the house.

On Friday morning we went to Idaho to go and pick up the kids. On the way we stopped at Lava Hot Springs.

 Here we are floating down the river. It was so much fun!

Here is Russell dipping his toes in the hot springs that was just off of the river.

You can see how the rocks form the little hot tub with the river flowing right by. It was so pretty and so much fun to do something a little different.

Then we arrived at the Jaussi house just in time for sword fighting and snow cones! My mom and dad had the kids decorate shields and swords and then sent them out in the backyard for and epic game of capture the flag. Here are Bowen and Eliza sword fighting.

 Eliza and Abbie enjoying a snow cone. 

Uncle Curtis and Aiden going at it.

Little Bennet got to come with his mom from Colorado. He LOVED his snow cone. He was cold and shivering but he wouldn't let Megan take it away from him.

 Here are all of the cousins with their tie dye shirts they made . The three and younger crowd did not sleep over, but the rest were there from Saturday to Saturday!! Here is the list: Eberlee, Aiden, Hallie, Bennet, Natalie, Jack, Jace, Abbie, Eliza, Maelee, Cayson, Cameron, Makia, and Bowen. There will be one more cousin in September.

And here they all are with Grandpa and Grandma! Here are some highlights of what they did: Swimming at Rigby Lake twice, Screechers (little go cart and batting cage place), movie, zoo, horse back riding, took a ride in an army truck, crafts, Sonic milkshakes and tons of fun!

Thanks Mom and Dad you guys really are awesome!!
