A Lil Bit of Country

We spent a few days up in the Rural Country Idaho Land in July. Usually when you think of the country, you think of lazy days, relaxing in the wheat fields, sipping homemade lemonaide, etc. etc....  Unfortunately we did none of this.  We packed something into every second of the day, and it ended up being a blast!

        First things first:   Mr Ed

        Okay, its not the real Mr. Ed, but a trip to Idaho woudn't be complete, for Dempsey,without feeding Grandpa's Horses

                               

This picture is so typical

Kapp-  Mr. Happy Go Lucky

Dempsey- Miss Sad, Forlorn, Woa is me

{ I think she gets that from her father}

I was alittle freaked out because the horses mouth was right by my Rear and I just knew he was waiting to take a big bite out of it

I'm not paranoid

Horses do that all the time, Okay

Grandpa and the Horses=Dempsey's Heaven

The Riot Zone

We love this place, they have bumper boats, go carts, mini golf inflatables, and

THE BUCKAROO

It doesn't get any better than the buckaroo.

A giant teetertotter that goes up in the air and you try to ring a bell

Me and Lacie have a vicious rivalry going over this, so I was pretty pumped to put her in her place

 {Me gettin saddled in}

{Lacie gettin saddled}

It was a good fight but I lost 1:2

I really wanted Lacie to feel what it was like to win, so I gave her the extra point

But I probably won't be so generous next time

Chris tied Jeremy 1:1

Here he is going for a victory bell

Good Game, Good Game

Inflatables

Dempsey loved playing on these with Kaycia.

It's sad we live so far away because these two play so well together.

The Bumper Boats

Dempsey was less than ecstatic about these

but on the bright side she ended up with a shoeful of gasolean all over her leg due to our leaky engine. That was super fun to clean off

Kapplan was super excited for his ride, and kept telling Chris to go faster. He's a little daredevil.

We also rode the gocart, {no pic,tear} and we have no pictures because I was strapping Dempsey, who was kicking and screaming, into the car. Yes I was that mother, She screamed and fought while the man made sure I had the dumb seatbelt right, and everyone else stared at me and thought me an idiot mother who should just let the poor little girl out of the car. However, I knew, that once we got going she would LOVE it. And I was right, of course. She did love it! So I am glad to say that I didn't
scar her too much!

                                                                     HIESE
   These are some awesome Hot Springs with a big pool and a slide called "The Dragon"  I've wanted to go here for awhile because we have pics of Chris as a little boy swimming here and the water looks so blue.  
                             I love this pic of them coming out of the slide, Chris is a Pro.  Everytime I take                                     Dempsey down a slide, we both totally faceplant it.  Poor Girl

                                                     And she loved it!!

 Kapp didnt really get in on the action too much, the water was a tad bit to cold for him.

 So he laid out, worked on his tan, under Uncle Taylors Hat

Birch Creek Fishing

As with most days in our life, Dempsey started the day with clothes on and then ended like this....

for some reason she likes to be nakey

The cute girl, {and cute dad} with her fish

she "reeled it in"

And I just love how she likes to touch fish

and isn't afraid

We had a picnic

Nothing like a relaxing day with family in the beautiful countryside

even Kapp agreed.

I always say we get the best of both worlds visiting up there and living down here

Can't wait till next summer...
