Jr High and High school

A very early wake up, Shane had to go to school at 7am because we missed registration.  Hailey was so excited she got up at 6am
6th and 9th Grade
 Shane's friends hooked him up with a bottom locker!
 Hailey and her best friend got 1st choice of lockers before the entire school
Hailey and Nicolette waiting for the bus

As Shane would say, "Me, Me Big Boy!"

15th Bday

Now that Shane is 15 he loves to pose for the camera


 Shane has a little bit of goof in him, the candle blowing wasn't pretty
 Love this picture.  It's the Shane I see everyday doing silly stuff
Dual Birthday party at J Tranis!

Mesa Falls and Ice Cave

Drove over to Mesa Falls and took in the sights
 Mesa Falls is gorgeous

 In front of a natural spring 
 On our drive back to Boise we stopped by the Shoshone Ice Cave
 pretty surreal
 It was pretty "cool"

Henry Fork River

We floated the Henry's Fork river with a boat, kayak and a Sup.  The river was slow moving and shallow but super pretty and clear



 Adam "almost" caught the biggest fish ever!
A little fishing and checking out the moose and her baby along the shoreline
Shane got a little too close to the Moose, he was trying to turn and went the wrong way

 Further downriver we floated by a bull moose, which wouldn't move

So we floated right by it, quietly 

Luckily there is no You Tube video of us going viral 
Such a nice and relaxing day

Island Park

We stayed in a house in Island Park, ID.  One of the days some of us went horseback riding

 The rest of us rented an ATV




 Jesse and Shane going over a bridge
 Passenger! Jesse is such a great/crazy driver that it was so much fun
 We all met up for lunch at the river
 And then ATVed the rest of the day
 we got soaked over and over again
If I were driving it wouldn't have been fun at all, I would have been a granny out there

Yellowstone National Park

 We flew to Boise then drove with Nana and Papa and the Jennings to Yellowstone. 
  Dawn patrol at Yellowstone.  Kids weren't happy but the pictures were well worth it
33 degrees
The cold air allowed for some really cool pictures that you wouldn't have seen in the daytime




 our group walking around prismatic lake, little did we know what it looked like once the sun came out
I enjoyed this geyser more than Old Faithful, it was called the Beehive. Just out of dumb luck we saw it erupt which only happens every 16 hours
So many amazing and beautiful spots to see
 Prismatic Lake 

 We got stopped by the Buffalo.  They love to stop traffic and hang out on the road




 Yellowstone you did not disappoint.  You were only stinky in a few areas
