"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Week Three.... Justin joins us....

Justin and his sister with their babies:

Lake Cascade, Idaho

M in her lightjacket:




Ready, Set, Go!


GQ was off for this round.


See that water coming up on the top heavy tube?  Who goes in you ask? M, of course.  Afterward we had to discuss in detail whether you could die if you stayed underwater too long, whether I would have let her die, and how she was sure to shut her eyes so she wouldn't have to see underwater.  (M has the same love for water as her Momma.)  Luckily Cousin Olivia saved the day and jumped in with her.



GQ took her place when she joined us in the big boat.








Best picture ever!!!


Waiting for their boat to come in.  I liked the beach best.  It was small and simple and I could read and watch the kids at the same time.







Cousin Sammi and Cousin Isaac took the kids on a small tube ride to an island where they worked on a sand castle.




The End of our trip!  I was gone for way too long and was glad to head home.  Even Evanston looked good, and that's saying a lot.

Oh my goodness I can't handle GQ's face in the pics on the tube! So cute!
