| Last few days of swim lessons |
 |
| Jane improved so much! She went from not wanting to put her face in the water and not letting go of me, to jumping in by herself and swimming all around even in the deep end. |
 |
| Found these gems in Kaleb's room. Details on how to make a quail trap and minnow trap :-) |
 |
| My cute boys. Isaac's legs are finally filling out! Not little sticks anymore |
 |
| Kaleb breathing a sigh of relief that he finished the dishes. He got invited to an airsoft/swim party so he worked fast and hard to get it done in time :-) |
 |
| Eliza and Jane had a lovely tea party for all their dolls. I asked where some of the dolls went and Jane said, "they had to go to the orphanage." ! :-( |
 |
| We had a lovely time in McCall! Enjoying a sunset and icecream looking out at lake Payette. |
 |
| We heard about iceream alley and quickly understood why it's so popular! So yummy with all the different flavors. Jane got her blue bubblegum kind all over her. I tried huckleberry and it was perfection. |
 |
| The first day was long with Braydan having to work all day, but at night we hit the beach. |
 |
| Eliza jumped right in the lake with all her clothes on! |
 |
| While Braydan was gone in the day (with our only vehicle), I took the kids on a bike ride to the community pool :-) It was very interesting with a flat tire on the bike carrier and Isaac strapped in haphazardly to the carrier. We said some prayers and and made it. |
 |
| Kids took pictures of the cabin. Upstairs had the master bedroom/bath with a couch on the landing that kaleb slept on. |
 |
| The pool down the road from the cabin. The girls had fun, but Kaleb said it was dirty and didn't swim much. He was kinda annoying about it! He wants to swim every day when we're home, but when we have unlimited time to swim and free, he doesn't want to :-( |
 |
| Braydan got to rent a truck for his job, so we wasted no space in that thing! |
 |
| Friday morning, we went on a lovely hike to Boulder Lake. |
 |
| The deal was I would pack Isaac if Braydan would pack Jane. We didn't know Jane would walk the whole 2 miles up and 2 miles down! I got the sore shoulders and back! Although Braydan held Jane's hand the entire time after she tripped the first 5 minutes and hurt her hand. |
 |
| We picked Huckleberries along the way. |
 |
| There was a dam at the lake with little waterfalls flowing out over the boulders (hence the name Boulder lake) for the kids to play in. So fun! |
 |
| Girls took pictures of the whole cabin, even the toilets (they think they're so hilarious :-) Cute little kitchen. |
 |
| After our hike, we got icecream and headed to the beach to cool down. It was lovely playing in the sand. |
 |
| We got back to the cabin to find this guy eating in the yard. He wasn't scared of us at all! |

That cabin looked really nice! I was picturing something like the olden days.
From Kaleb's plans I think he will be a Engineer. That pool looked nice.
The hike and lake are sure a beautiful spot. Isaac looks so cute and getting so filled out. Good for you to have Kaleb do all the dishes first :)Love the girls tea party.
Love the post. Thanks so much for sharing. The dishes, the tea, and the trip looked like great fun. Marla
First of all I just loved reading Kaleb's plans to trap quail to get meat. What a cute kid. It was hard to read but the first few words drew me in.
Your trip to McCall looks awesome. So glad you all went!! Eliza surprises me with jumping in lake fully clothed. Glad she's bold :) what did you eat on your trip? Sounds like ice cream for every meal!;)
