Redfish Lake

during our trip to Idaho we spent 3 days at Redfish Lake with my family. Everyone was there except my brother Mark, who lives in Ohio. It was a beautiful lake (a little rainy) and the chipmunks were so friendly, they were eating out of Trent's hand. right when we pulled up it was freezing cold, had been raining, but the kids were so excited they ran to the lake and started wading in, in their sweatshirts!






We also drove down the road a little ways to a hot springs. hot water was coming out of the side of the mountain, and people had used rocks to block it off and make little hot springs.




Trent's trying a hot rock massage.



We also celebrated Jake's 4th birthday at Redfish! a pinata, cake, presents and lots of jet skiing and a fun day at the lake. Jake really didn't understand the concept of a pinata. when the first, single piece of candy fell out, he stopped, unwrapped it, ate it, then went back to hitting the pinata. it was driving Emily and Trent crazy.







this was his birthday dessert after dinner at the lodge restaurant. it was a trick candle and he couldn't figure out what was going on.

So glad you're back safe and sound. I can't believe we were both home around the same time with our families. Also loving that Kiwi-Loco! Looks like you had a blast. The jet skiing brings back soooo many fun and wondeful memories. It's one of my favorite things to do with my family now. Tell your dad, thanks for introducing it to me. I'm dying to know where you end up moving. I had the craziest dream about you last night and I was looking for your e-mail to tell you about it. If you have a second, will you send it to me. Love ya tons.

How much fun! I wanted so badly to take the kids in the mountains and camp, but we had to cut a week off our trip to get Lily ready for school starting Aug 4th.
