Labor Day Weekend

We had a fun Labor Day weekend just spending some time together as a family. Lance had been gone for a week hunting, so family time is just what we needed!


We hiked the Menan Butte. Mason loves to learn about rocks and volcanoes. They spent a lot of time trying to catch lizards, throwing rocks, and trying not to fall.

Mason just finished taking his Hunter's Education Class and passed with flying colors (that is why he has the bright orange hat on in the picture above)!!! He went to Pocatello four times a week to take this class and most of the time didn't get home until 10:00 at night. (Thanks again for driving Jeff!) The night before his test he stayed up studying and studied the next day really hard too. I was proud that he passed the test. I tried studying with him, but those tests are kind of hard if you know nothing about hunting!!


After our hike we decided to have a camp out. Notice the TV in the background, now that is a good way to camp. We had popcorn and watched a movie. We tried to sleep outside but it was so windy and rainy that we eventually all came inside.

The next morning we got up and went swimming at the Ross Park swimming pool. It was a little chilly but that didn't stop the kids or Lance!

Lance having way too much fun!

What a fun weekend!!

Looks like you had fun- glad you survived Lance being gone so long! I can't believe Tay has braces!! Teg's needs them too but we might have to do one of those palate expanders first. Oh the joys of kids :) He looks cute!

That looks like a lot of fun! I was wondering what you were doing with that tent in your yard :)
