Not a good idea to wait until naptime for a family picture
My parents with my nieces and nephews
Oh, what a wonderful trip to Idaho we had! Our family was able to go for 10 days, and it was so worth it. This year, we were able to introduce my family to beautiful Coeur d'Alene! It was so fun to share what has become such a special place for James & I, with my family. My parents were able to relax more than I have seen them in years! And it was so nice to watch all my nieces and nephews enjoy each other's company, without the distraction of facebook, cell phones and other forms of communication with the outside world. It was an exciting (yet relaxing) week of wakeboarding, kayaking, waverunning, jumping off the dock, reading in the hammock, night boat rides, bridge jumping, too much eating, game-playing, visiting and loving. We even did our share of maintenance at the house and everyone had a great attitude. We replaced boards on the dock, bought & replaced the dock stairs, pulled weeds, swept stairs, cleaned windows, gutters... all in 2 hours! It's amazing what you can do when you've got the man-power with happy hearts! :) We also got to visit with James' Nana & Papa, The Old Man (love you Grandpa Warren) and Grandma Ann, Grandmama Mary, Aunt Peggy & Uncle Neil. We definitely made the most of our 10 days. We have tons of pictures, so enjoy!
A big thanks to James' dad & Gloria for letting us take over the lakehouse for the week. It is such a beautiful home filled with breathtaking views and wonderful memories. It truly is heaven on Earth.
