July 2015~Cabin in Malad

Each July we head up to a family cabin in Malad, Idaho with the Harkness family to spend the weekend. The kids really love it and look forward to it. We play games, watch movies, eat food, and just have some fun down time.

Aunt Mary did some amazing face painting on the kids!


Every year we do water games outside and the kids last about 2 seconds because it is always so windy there and cold. But they still insist we do it every year. Nora didn't care much for it, of course.    But she did like the squirting elephant.   Coy was probably the bravest in the cold water.   We usually make tie-dyed shirts as well. It is fun to see how they turn out each year.   Nora really didn't like going to or being held by anyone but her parents for a long time. She still is hesitant at times. After my surgery, there were a few weeks when she wouldn't even have anything to do with me, and only wanted Russell.
