Stanley Idaho 2010...

We had a blast at the cabin this year. The week flew by and we couldn't believe when it was time to go home. Great Gma and Gpa came up this year and it was so fun to be up there with them. We loved being with family and being in the beautiful mountains. It was nice and cool, even cold enough to have a fire. Oh how we love it at the cabin!
A favorite activity every year, feeding the chipmunks, they will climb right up on your lap to get the peanut.
We had family night up there and we played "Oink piggy oink", parley loved it and thought it was so funny.
We went on lots of 4wheeler rides that my kids love! Whenever Ella would be crying or mad about something we could just ask her if she wanted to go for a ride and she would instantly stop crying and nod and point to the door..if only I had a 4 wheeler in my garage so i could always do that.
One day we drove to a trail and took a long ride up to dagger falls, it was so pretty!
the kids fell asleep in the car on the way to the trail. aren't they sweet when they are sleeping :)
we had lunch at dagger falls and then took some pics or the falls..
Me and my awesome hubby of 8 years.. Happy anniversary today babe!! I love you more than ever !
Travis bought a motorcycle this year because there is an awesome lake above the cabin that you can only get to by motorcycle, so he went up there twice and did some awesome fishing! they called themselves Wild Hogs!
The boys even did a little fishing and each caught a couple of their own fish, Brig even fell in while fishing..
Parley's line got stuck on a rock so Trav made him walk through the freezing water to get it, Parley didn't even flinch..
The 4th night Grant heard some noise on the deck around 1:00 am so he went out to check it out and saw a full grown Black Bear, thats right I said BEAR! so he woke up Kyle and Trav and Kyle went on the deck in his garments with a BB Gun thats right I said BB Gun, his trusty Red Ryder. anyways the bear was right by the deck and dragged a couple of our coolers in to the trees and had tipped over and bit into a few other coolers, Our cooler has bear teeth holes in it. He ate our dessert and a case of apples, we found our strawberries up in the trees the next day, he bit into a watermelon and got into some of our drinks. It was pretty cool to see but I am glad we were all safe in the cabin unlike the campers that weren't too far away from us. There was big muddy paw prints on the back of Trav's truck. It was a pretty exciting night.
those tiny little lights you see are the bears eyes..
The mighty bear hunters, I woke up to see what was going on and I was dying over kyle's outfit!
Parley  went hunting for treasures everyday, and this was his loot!
Just hangin out at the cabin!!

the boys with the peanuts they were feeding the squirrels..
These 2 have so much fun together!
Travis and Kyle bathed all the kids together one night, wow!!
Look at all those cute kids!

We took the boat to RedFish lake one day, this is my most favorite lake and I am always amazed by its beauty!
Parley wakeboarded for his first time with his dad!
You can't really see it but he is giving us a thumbs up!
Then Ella wanted to go swimming so Trav took her wakeboarding too and she loved it!
We played on the beach and had lunch..
It was  a fun day at the Lake...
It is always fun to go to church at the cabin, they meet in a little chapel that a couple other religions meet in too, and it has  beautiful view of the sawtooth mountains.


On sunday we took the boys down to the river and they threw huge rocks in over and over.. they love to do this..
then we headed up to the treehouse,they love to play in this too..
Brig finally took a much needed nap..
and then we built a fire and had smore's..Parley built the fire all by himself and was pretty proud of it..
and finally we came home.. can't wait till next year!
