Weekend Warriors

We had a fun, busy weekend.
Saturday:
We headed up to my Uncle Jay (my dad's brother) and Aunt Kelly's place in Cascade.  They were there for a long weekend, along with my grandparents (my dad's parents).  It was nice to get out into the fresh air.

We stopped at a gas station in Horseshoe Bend & got a photo with the fire truck.

Braison playing on a stump in the yard.

Lilian on her stump.

They are putting on a dancing show.

My Uncle Jay and Grandpa Bud had been out on the lake fishing all morning and came back with a couple little perch.  The kids "helped" Jay clean them and then he BBQ-ed them for a little afternoon snack.

He just wanted crackers at first, but quickly realized he really liked the fish on the crackers!

She knew she would like the fish :o)

We piled in the truck and went to the Kayak Whitewater Freestyle Point Series Championships that were being held.  It was interesting to watch them do tricks in the little kayaks.  I am a nerd and didn't take one single photo. Then, we went to check out the lake.

After dinner, we piled in the truck again and they took us to Gold Fork Hot Springs.  Here are the kids, being themselves on the way there....

The hot springs were wonderful!  They have a kid pool, then a series of pools that cascade down into each other, so the further down you go, the cooler the water is.  We will be coming back here, that is for sure!

A big "THANK YOU" to Jay, Kelly, Grandma DeLorus, and Grandpa Bud for a wonderful day in the mountains! 


Sunday:
We got home really late on Saturday night, so we slept in on Sunday morning, which was really nice.  Then, we headed out to MotorFest.  The kids, all 3 of them :o), had a wonderful time.  It is always fun to see all of the cars and spend the day outside.  

He has really like fire trucks lately. 

And police cars.

Watching the motorcycles in the "Globe of Death"

Braison and Lilian especially liked the motorcycles in the Globe of Death.  I think Braison has decided that that is what he wants to do when he grows up.   
We sure do love these summer weekends!
