Island Park

I have decided that vacationing isn't the same when you become a parent. It is fun, don't get me wrong, but the vacation is never about you anymore. Two weeks ago, my family went up to Island Park as we have done for the past few years. It is a beautiful place to go. All the boys love to go fly fishing and without fail, someone always falls in! This year it was my dad's turn! Luckily for us (or him I should say) the cabin that we rented had a hot tub where he could go warm up.

We also went and shot shotguns (of course I didn't, I hate them. It was too loud for Avery and me, so we stayed and played in the car) and visited Quake Lake. The picture of my dad looking through the binoculars kills me!! I love him!!

It was kind of a crazy week. Avery slept horrible. She thought that it was time to wake up at 2 am and play. She wanted to dance and just wasn't tired. The walls were paper thin, so I couldn't let her cry herself to sleep. It made for a quick night when 6 0' clock rolled around for Jake when he would leave to go fishing. Other than that we ate our hearts out and played games and rock band. We had a great time and can't wait for next year!! It's kind of sad that summer is coming to an end. I have to admit that I am kind of excited for fall. Not sure why?!

I have to admit that seeing your family all having so much fun makes me sad that I only have my parents and one brother still in state. I bet Avery loves playing with her cousins. Looks like you guys had a fun trip!

Your family really knows how to have fun. I love all the pics and the portrait session looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing your blog-- Avery is such a delight, isn't she??
Love you Annalee!!
