Boise

The road to Boise, and you wonder why we got a speeding ticket!

 We went to the Botanical Gardens which Shane begged to go to so he could do the maze

We rented a SUP at the lake and played around on it

 Then the kids took it over

 Hailey really enjoyed paddling around on it

 The water felt so good

Lake Mojave

My friend Tracey invited us to join them in Lake Mojave, they have boats, a house and lots of toys. She and her husband Chris grew up going to the lake.  Jesse and I don't know that first thing about the lake world so it's nice to go with them.  Tracey is driving the boat during our dawn patrol

Chris tearing it up

 Their dog Maverick joined us the first day, the water was so warm

They had 2 boats that the kids kept switching on and off of.  I have never seen so many toys on a boat before.  We could do just about anything

Jesse wake boarding

Dylan and Shane

 Ella and Hailey

 a common site

 The kids had their favorites rides

Black ice was their fav

 Shane loved Big Bertha

Chris's dad joined us and was a big help driving 

 We drove a good 50 miles on the boat that day and made it to some neat caves that had hot springs

 We didn't get pictures of he really cool cave as we couldn't get our camera across the river and up the hill

 We stopped for lunch, boys restocking

 We made it all the way to the Hoover Dam

 Dam good pic

More land toys, Chris's dad just loved sharing all his toys with us

Thanks to the Freeburys for inviting us and showing us what lake-junkies are all about.  We will be back

MudButts part 3

3rd annual Mud Run.  We recruited some new people this year.

 Once again I had to lie that the kids were 13, there were only a handful of kids in the whole race

Great having David join us before he moves to TX

 The kids were so excited for this day to come, they love it!

Jesse doing his thang

 This was some thick mud that felt great

 The photographer on the side told the boys to go in the mud fast, as there was a hug hole

 Water slide time

 Obstacles are much harder when you are 9 years old

 Jesse trying to go up a mud hill and losing his balance and falling backwards

 Molly laying on the hill while having our teammate climb up her to get up

 Another fun run in the mud
