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!  

Lucky Peak Lake

 We went out on Nana and Papa's boat to Lucky Peak Lake.  Part time driver Jesse

Hailey, Lyla and Eli

 Shane, Katie and Eli getting some air

 Playing on the doc

 My dudes

Another great vacation in Idaho with lots of fond memories

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
