Camping at Island Park

COLTON
We camped at Island Park, It was beautiful but a little bit cold. We overall we had a great time. We enjoyed hiking, fishing, and the campfire! The last day we were packing up it POURED rain.

Grandpa spent alot of time getting the boys ready to fish a nd untangling poles! Gavin spent HOURS he river bank, hoping to catch something.


We enjoyed visiting with Grandma Schulthies. We are so glad she came and that we were able to spend sometime with her.

"THAT" Gun

The boys were so excited to shoot "That" gun. It drives Todd crazy when we call his AK-47 "That" gun. They had a great time acting like little terrorists.

Even Allen had a great time shooting, even though I know in his mind he was thinking ChaChing, ChaChing, ChaChing everytime
he shot a shot at basically nothing :)

Teuscher's - Chubbuck Idaho

We stayed the night at Allen's sister Sharran's house in Chubbuck Idaho. Her two granddaughters, Halie and Jaycee came over. Makenna was SO excited to have a few GIRLS to play with.


Jaycee, Makenna, Halie

The girls attacked Caiden and followed him around.

Flower Girl

Makenna loves to find flowers. She can never resist picking them. She has started pressing them and saving them for her scrapbook.

Trip to Idaho

We went to Idaho for a Hoffman Family Reunion. Our reunion was supposed to be in Missouri this year but since my brother is sick with cancer we all went to Idaho instead. We went from Sunny 85 degrees to Cold 30-50 degrees. But overall we had a great time most of the time :) We wanted to leave on Friday, but ended up selling cows on Saturday. So we left as soon as we had them loaded and the shipper left. (By the way...those of you who know "DOT" the cow I talked about in my Homemaking lesson.....Yeah that one! She was one that was loaded.....a very funny story.....ask me about it! or maybe I will use it in another lesson or talk!) It was an eventful trip out. We ran out of gas in the middle of NoWhere in the middle of the night...I wasn't driving. Thank goodness for AAA! The back flap thingy on our van blew off which shorted out our tailights (ok, that one is my fault, I took the van through a carwash and broke it partly off. So I tried to Gorilla glue it back, guess it didn't work) But we finally made it safe!
We drove all night straight through...best way to travel with kids in our opinion! It was so nice to have a third driver this year (Thanks Austin!) While driving for a while I looked back at Makenna and this is how I found her asleep...Out of her carseat and on top of all the blankets and pillows...when did that happen!
Sunday morning we stopped Geneva to see our Brother in Law Daryl Teuscher. He happened to be at their ranch for the weekend. It was fun to see him and Gavin and Makenna were happy to get out of the van. They both loaded up with smooth, round rocks.....they were so facinated with them! You can find them in Missouri :) We stopped in Soda Springs Idaho to see a geiser.
