Our Summer vacation in Rigby, and Island Park, ID

Just so all of you know... I know I am not blogger in order, I'm playing catch-up. So back off, Okay! I'm feeling pressure!

In June we went to Idaho for the Jensen reunion (My grandma Wolfley is a Jensen). But before we went to the campground in Island Park we went to Mike and Heather's house in Rigby for two days. The kids had such a great time playing with their cousins. Mike's house is full of toys to keep them busy; four-wheelers, swing set, trampoline, inflatable water slide and of course their cousins. We only had one little accident. Within the first hour we were there, the guys busted out the four wheelers-which for my kids was a new experience riding by themselves. Syd had a momentary brain freeze and forget which was the brake and which was the accelerator. She rounded a corner and hit the gas instead of the brake and hit the barbed wire fence.

Sydney was in shock after it happened. She didn't cry and actually didn't feel it either accept for one cut on her hand stung pretty bad. She was so brave. Heather and I returned from the store just a few minutes after it happened. I tried so hard to be brave also, but I wasn't as successful. I cried! It is hard to see your children get hurt. Ann arrived a few hours later and super glued Sydney's face together. That's why it looks so good in this picture. It's a great trick I had not heard of before. Thanks Ann!

Here is a few more pictures that include no blood, just fun!
This is Tyler, he was a natural. He loved the four wheelers. I think he wore Uncle Mike out asking constantly if he could ride them.
Julie was good about giving the little ones rides around the track. Sydney rode with Julie a few times, but it didn't take her long to get back on by herself and ride. I was really proud of her.

The kids had a blast with the pool and water slide. By the way Mike and Heather are frugal people. Mike just happens to know how to get things for free alot, and he's very good with his hands. He enjoys building and fixing things. And Heather's parents spoils them rotten. That is why they have a child's wonderland in their backyard. Thanks it was so FUN!

Here are few pictures from the reunion....
This is Mesa Falls. It was a beautiful falls, with a fun little animal museum for the kids. Just Kaylie and I went along with Craig and Mike's family. It was nice and relaxing for me to just keep an eye on ONE. And fun being just with Kaylie.
My sibs minus a few.
Last but not least, breakfast in our new trailer. Yeah, we bought a trailer. Our family is just getting too big to tent camp anymore. We barely fit in the Suburban as it is let alone camping gear. This was a fun trip for us, we look forward to it again next year!

Good job nancy. Glad to see you keeping up with your "chores". I guess there's no more excuses about needing to go inside for a drink of water like when we where kids.
