Idaho with the Borgstroms

We took a quick trip up to Emily and Josh's house in Idaho to spend the 4th of July with the Borgstrom side of the family.

We decided to brave Henry's Fork again. The last time we got caught in a storm that was pretty traumatizing for most of us! Island Park 2020

This time we had perfect weather. Wesley was watching the sky pretty close. There were clouds all around us all day, but we didn't get rained on. We also had to fight the current the last half of the float by the time we were done we were very tired and cold! 

On the 4th of July we had a breakfast at Emily and Josh's church. We played a couple of Frisbee Golf parks. Then to a park and a Farmers Market. Later that night we used the kids lemon squeezer and made frozen lemonades for everyone. They were delicious! 

We went back to the church to try to watch fireworks. It was probably not the best spot, but we could see some fireworks.

On Friday we hiked the Palisades Creek trailhead. Then went to Palisades Reservoir. The kids paddled around and found some drift wood. 

After dinner we headed home.

 

Soccer and Lemonade Stands

Jaycee was able to play in a tournament with her old comp team this weekend. She loves playing with this team, and what made it even better was that she got to play with Mae and the regulated the backfield! I love watching Jaycee do her thing. They did great, but came up short in the championship game.

Bensen and Viv tried their hand at a lemonade stand, it was a hit! They sold out in a few hours!

We are thinking we will do a few more before summer is over. The kids even pooled their money to buy a lemon juicer.

 

Frisbee, Jaycee's Birthday, Father's Day and Huntington State Park

Everyone is so happy to be out of school. Unfortunately for the older two conditioning for soccer and football has already started. Boo! We got out one evening with some cousins and played frisbee golf. Being with family is always a good time! We didn't keep track, but I am sure I won...just kidding I just walked around with Penny, but still had a great time. My shoulder isn't quite up for frisbee just yet.

Jaycee turned 17! How crazy is that? Jaycee is the best! We sure love her.

Father's Day was the day after Jaycee's birthday. We love getting to celebrate our Dad's! We are definitely have the best Dads around!

I had to include Penny's first barrette.

Since the older kids are in conditioning we didn't camp at Huntington this year, but I drove Bensen and Vivian up for the day to hang out and play. They loved the ride down. I gave them my phone and they were DJ's. We sang our hearts out, and that helped me stay awake.

Summer is off to a great start!

 

Vivian's Baptism

Vivian was baptized on June 1st. She has been looking forward to this day for a long time! It was a beautiful day and she had so much support and love from her family. She asked Wesley to give a talk, Jaycee to lead the music, and Bensen to play "I am a Child of God" on the piano. She also had her uncle Tyson conduct the meeting. She was baptized and confirmed by Mike and had both grandmas be witnesses. We sure love this girl!
