All of Jeff's siblings were able to join us for our trip to Idaho, except his sister Lori and her family. We were glad we could see them a week later here in Utah. We enjoyed going through the Oquirrh Temple open house with them.

Reunion #2
At the end of July we went to a reunion for the Payne side of the family by Couer d'Alane Idaho. We stayed at the Stoneridge Resort. We were able to do lots of fun things, play tennis, basketball, raquetball, put put, swim, go for walks and play games with aunts, uncles and cousins.
In Couer d'Alane there is a fun wood park that we call "the pirate park". The girls had a blast posing for pictures there. "Hey mom, take a picture of me doing this." "Hey mom, take a picture of me and Hayley over here"
Everytime we go, we have to get the kids dizzy on the tire swing. You are always asking for punishment when you hop on one those swings.
Jeff and the kids also had fun playing around in the lake.
We had a great time in Idaho, but I think the kids absolute favorite part was catching the toads at dusk.
Here is Paige just begging to take one on our short 12 hour drive back home to Utah. They all would have loved to keep one as a pet, but that would go against mom's strict rule of no pets in the house (they promised that I wouldn't have to take care of them). It was easier than you might think to say no to that face this time.

Ogden Raptors
Take me out to the ball game ......
For their summer work party this year RC Willey treated us to dinner and a baseball game. Ethan was bummed that he missed it, but he was having a blast at scout camp. Brock, Hayley and Paige thought it was great having their own huge cup of soda (they usually have to share or drink water) and bag of chips.
Brock was happy to share the day with our neighbor and friend, Targhee.

Fourth of July
For the Fourth we got to have 2 barbeques. Yum, yum. With the Ludlows, the girls got to help shuck the corn and Paige enjoyed being reunite with Abby.
That night we had some fun fireworks with our neighbors.
Jeff and Ethan joined in the fun.
The sparklers were a hit.
The kids appear to being trying to set something very interesting on fire. I'm not really sure if I like this.
Even though a good time was had by all, I couldn't help but think about all the money that we burned with those piddley fireworks. (it's all for the kids, it's all for the kids, it's all for the kids)
