Fun with the Neal Family

A couple of weeks ago we got to hang out with the Neal family on Billy Chinook. We had a blast!

They showed us where to cliff jump...

There was even a spot for the little ones

"We" played "Navy Seals" and dove off the back while the boat is moving...too fun!

Here are some of the happy crew. Their son, Hayden showed us how to really wakeboard! He does backflips! It was amazing!

Nyle and Syd

This is Bella showing us how it's done!

Playing "train" behind the boat

Both boys got up on the wakeboard because of the Neals! We were so excited, but, I didn't have my camera out for most of the time. I only got a shot of Tyler falling. More pictures to come, because the boys pop right up now!

One of the highlights was the girls entertaining us that night! They sang and danced...it was soooo fun!

Sydney was bribed with a sleepover to surf too! Go Sydney!

Thank you Neal family! We have two boys who can wakeboard now, thanks to BOTH of you! We will see you out there!

Chush Falls Hike

Every Tuesday the women in our branch go on a hike...it is the best! Sometimes it is just a couple of us and sometimes its more. Yesterday it was a whole bunch of us, including 22 kids! We went into the Three Sisters Wilderness and hiked to Chush falls.

Some of the kids got to ride the whole way! This is Charlie.

Florence and Family

This past weekend we went to Florence to celebrate Vonnie and Dan's birthday. Jeff & Michelle were in town with their family too. We had a ball. We went kayaking, played games, and ate LOTS of good food!

Happy Birthday!

The kids lived on the trampoline the entire weekend!

Catch up...Last day of School and other festivities!

I haven't posted for awhile, so I thought I would do a catchup. The last day of school here is always a kick. They have a big field day and they bring the fire trucks in and hose them off before they send them on their way for summer. I had to go and take some pictures.

That weekend was also Rodeo weekend. Dan & his family came into town along with Rene and her family. We went to the rodeo on Friday night and had a parade on Saturday morning. Syd was in it with her dance group.

I thought this was way too cute to not take a picture.

After the parade we went out to the lake for the day...it was sooooo fun!

Here is Tanner and Syd with their cousin, Rachael.

Sahalie & Koosah Falls Hike

Last Saturday we took a great hike to see Sahalie and Koosah falls. We've seen Sahalie before because it is a viewpoint right on the side of the highway, but we've never done the waterfall loop. It was beautiful and I took way too many pictures. I just thought I would share. In case you were wondering, we do have a couple of extra kids with us...Maison and Austin. I think everyone had fun!

King of the Forest!

Aren't the colors spectacular!
