Idaho

This labor day weekend we went up to spend some time with my parents. As always it was very nice and relaxing. The kids miss their grandpa and grandma Luthy a lot and always have a lot of fun when we are there. I was so disappointed because I remember my camera was on the desk around Brigham City, so no photos this time. Kelsi spent a lot of time out in the "forest house", she loves that house, all the makings for a great place for a little girl to play. A nice log cabin exterior, and big slide and a big play kitchen with tons of play food for her to play in.
Saturday we started the day by getting some good boating in. The water was a chilly 68 degrees and it took a while to get warmed up but once you did it felt so nice. Jeff of course did an awesome job skiing and I had a lot of crashes but a lot of fun. But I am proud to say I did most of my falling on the single ski and got a good run in before my arms and legs gave out on me. We got Kelsi and Gabe in the water once or twice, she wanted to show off her new swimming lesson skills, but the water was just a tad bit to cold for her and she sat shivering under wet towels the rest of the time. She did enjoy a nice ride on the tube by herself this time!
When we got home from water skiing we decided to head up to mountains and do some huckleberring. We found a patch and got started. Kelsi was so excited to get the berries, they are so yummy and she probably ate half of what she put in her bucket and Gabe just ate everything he picked, but the bees were a little possessive and they got their revenge on my mom's arm and Kelsi's lip. So needless to say we did not get to stay to long.
We came home and the kids roasted hot dogs and we made smores, note we changed the chocolate out for a Reese's peanut butter cup, super yummy, I'll never go back!
The next day we went to church and my grandpa and grandma were the speakers and both gave a very good talk on faith and courage and having a good balance between the two. It was a very good talk, I loved listening to them. We spend that evening with my aunt Melinda and her husband Jeff and my aunt Jan. We had an good time visiting together.
Then Gabe got sick :( So we left Monday morning to come home and made it home with only one incident, thanks mom for the bucket saved ours! We spent the rest of the day getting caught up and just enjoying being with each other.
Today Kelsi gets to go back to school and she was up at the crack of dawn excited to go back. This time she stays on track until November. She is very excited.
