Labor Day Weekend!

This Labor Day weekend we were able to do a little bit of everything. First we went Friday to Island Park and camped with my parents by Henry's Lake. It is really pretty there. The kids had a lot of fun. They got to stay in Grandma and Grandpa's trailer, go fishing, and ride the 4 wheelers. There aren't a ton of places to ride the 4 wheelers in Island Park anymore but there are still a couple of places you can go. Carter loved playing by and in this stream that was right by the camp spot. Grandpa Pat made him a fishing pole out of a stick and some string. He loved it so much we had to bring it home! Macie had a blast. She just wondered around, usually carrying a chair and ate lots of treats. She seemed to find a lot more than I would have normally allowed her to have. Oh well, we were camping that is what you are supposed to do, (eat treats) right? Anyways, we all had fun. Dave came up Saturday morning to join us. He was such a nice husband and stayed home Friday night so that he could do the paper route and I could go spend the night with my parents. When he got there Saturday my dad took Carter and Dave out on Henry's in the boat and well, Dave claims Carter as his good luck charm. Lately whenever he takes Carter fishing with him he always catches something. Dave caught a 3 lb fish and Carter caught a 2 lb fish. I forgot to send the camera. We came home Saturday night.


My dad had a blast showing Carter how to shoot the BB gun. Carter loved it.





Sunday we got up and went to church and then we headed down to Blackfoot to have dinner with the whole Vasas family. John and Sherri were coming to visit for the night because of the long weekend. Carter was excited to see all of his cousins. Especially Cole. Carter says they are best friends because they are both boys. It is so cute Carter calls him Cole Man. Macie and Madi had fun playing the piano and jumping on the tramp. We had a great dinner and some cake and cheesecake for desert. That night all the grandkids decided that they wanted to stay the night and have a big slumber party. I decided to stay too to help out. What a fun visit. Sherri and I made plans for the kids and I to go to Utah in a couple of weeks to work on Halloween costumes. Carter has decided he wants to be a Cow. I have no idea what I am getting myself into but Sherri said she would help me out.




These three got really quiet that next morning and when we found them they were creating masterpiece crafts. They had made colored water by putting the tips of markers in them. It is amazing what 3, 3 year olds can come up with!
