Saying Goodbye

Haela has had a fun summer with her cousins that were in Idaho. We are grateful for the time we had to spend time with them before they headed to Spokane yesterday to start a dental practice. Good luck! We'll miss you guys!

Credit Union Picnic

We went to our annual Credit Union picnic/carnival which we haven't been to for four years. Now that we are back in good ole' Idaho we took advantage of the fun! It is still pretty crazy being back.


Horse Buggy Ride


Bounce House

Daddy Bonding Time!

Haela got to go fishing and we brought
home a new pet. She named her goldfish "Etherin".
I thought that was an interesting name!

Johnson Family Reunion

Yes, we had another family reunion with my family last week in Island Park. We all stayed in my sister-in-laws' family's cabin. It was such a blast. There is nothing like everyone piling in a cabin in the woods where no one can go home at night! It gaurantees good bonding time! This was our first official family reunion with the immediate family. Everyone was there!

Haela loved playing house with her cousins....

and jumping on the trampoline....

and playing with Daniel's pet rat!

You see my lovely tattoos?! Yes the marshmallow bag melted on my arms while roasting!

THE LADY OF SHALOTT

If you have ever seen Anne of Green Gables you know what I mean. My little fireball red-head whose middle name is Ann reminds me so much of the girl of green gables. So when she fell fast asleep in the canoe I couldn't help but think of "The Lady of Shalott"

Kelly doing a cartwheel off the dock! What a dare-devil!

Enoch really wanted to jump into the river
but when he did it was a little too cold for him!

Kelly, of course, wanted to be the main paddle-man!

CANOEING/SWIMMING

Haela and Enoch had a blast in the rafts and boats

Enoch getting bonding time with Grandma and Grandpa (at the dock)

I love this shot! I chose to be the camera-man
instead of jumping into the freezing water!

Hike to an old fire tower--it was a beautiful sight at
the top with the view of all of Yellowstone and Island Park

Family reunion games--digging through sawdust to find hidden coins

Family reunion games--grandma's treasure hunt
(Haela found a clue hidden behind the stop sign)

Enoch couldn't get enough of the windy staircase at the cabin!
