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.
