Cabin vacation July 22

For the 24th of July weekend we went up to Island Park, Idaho to the Peterson Family Cabin for a few days. Due to the number of pictures taken, I figured it would be easiest to go day by day to show what fun we had. All my family was able to make it, even Kate and Dave and kiddles from Washington.

It was a little cool and breezy on the 22nd, but that didn't keep Madolyn and Daddy from playing a bit in the water. This is Madolyn literally taking a dip.

Here we both are jumping in to get wet.
Madolyn couldn't resist the slide. She was really excited to go down it until her toes touched the cool water and she started having second thoughts.
The sun came out for a while and we all decided to sun bathe for a while.
Even Auntie Amanda came down to get into the action.
Aunt Cami decided to come down and party as well. Her idea of partying is just a little different than ours. She puts on her Mr. Rogers sweater and curls up with a good book.
Grandma and Grandpa crashed after lunch and took some naps to revive themselves.
A squirrel came out to raid the bird feeder for seeds. Grandpa and Madolyn went out to see if the squirrel would come and take seeds from them. It never did, but it provided some good photo moments.

Avery curled up with Aunt Cami to read. She loved it.
The girls hung out with Grandpa on the deck after dinner while we all chatted. This is one of Avery's old man faces.

Ol Mr. Squirrel came out again and the girls had a good time watching him run around on the ground.
Here is another of Avery's old man faces.


I brought up a fishing spear to see what type of harvesting of the crawdads we could do. We grabbed Mitch, Mitch's roommate Alex, Cami, and Dawn and went down after dark to see how proficient we were at spearing. It took some practice but we got the hang of it and had a little appetizer of crawdads tails that evening.
