A day at the Lake!

Some of our friends went camping at Van Hook. It's only about 30 minutes away. I enjoy camping, but not without Ron! Jackson's and Dimick's went down and spent the week without their husbands! We went down and enjoyed their company and some time at the lake for an afternoon! 

The kids absolutely loved it!! 

North Dakota State Fair!

The fair was in town while Jane and Dustin were here! We took a day to go check it out and see what it was all about! People take their campers and camp out the whole week there! I'm not sure what all the fuss was about. The Eastern Idaho State Fair was better hands down!! I'm  thinking we missed a huge section of the fair! But we let the big kids go on the carnival rides...that's what it's all about anyway!! And dad won a stuffed animal for Payden!

...but pictures are on dad's phone since I remembered mine was in the car when the shuttle came and picked us up!

I have to admit, they have some awesome concerts there every year!! This year we had Toby Keith. Tim McGraw. Sawyer Brown. Journey. Brantley Gilbert. To name a few! $80 bucks for a season pass to see all 7 concerts?? Next year we'll have to jump on that!!

Fun in the Sun!

We've been having so much fun outside!!  The weather has been beautiful! Somedays a little on the chilly side!! If it would stay like this until thanksgiving I would be so happy!! Wishful thinking!! I am bracing myself for an early winter and holding onto summer as long as I can!!

If there is a mud puddle, we will find it!!  Landon begged and begged for a boat so he could sail across the pudddle in the ally. This is what he came up with!!

Somewhere I have pictures of Payden covered from head to toe in the mud!!

Madilyn's most favorite thing to do is climb the tree!! The neighbor boy taught her how to get up there pretty high!!

We play hide and seek. 

We go for walks.

 We play guns!!!

Grandma Jane and Dustin came for a visit. We had a great time!! We were outside the whole time! They taught the kids how to play baseball. I was amazed at how well they could play! Madilyn hit a home run over the roof and into the street on the other side of the house. Landon could hit right handed and left!
