Fall Break 2016

We went to Idaho for our annual Muldoon Fall Break trip!  It's so fun to see the cousins all together and playing!  We all got up there Wednesday night late.  We went for a morning run on Thursday together.  Kids and all!  
Josh's hair was getting SO long!  He had a goal to lose 25 lbs before he could shave.  It helped him because his beard/hair would drive him nuts so he'd not eat, and would exercise.  I helped by not loving the beard at all, and NOT baking!  It was a group effort!  ;)
Jace and Mickey - bffs.

Do you think I like pink Nikes?




Some of these pics are out of order because some are phone, some are camera.  My Dad won a drone at a work party.  He brought it up to try it out and see the lay of the land.  Pretty cool!
More of these to come from the hilarious game we played!
LOTS of 4-wheelers!!!  We borrowed Josh's parents' Rhino, and pulled up it with our own 4-wheeler. Papa had the rest there.  So fun!  We had enough seats so we all could go for a ride together!

More drone!

My favorite - sitting on a 4-wheeler, watching the kids play, reading my book in the sun!
Shooting guns!

Naps for Izzy :)  She fell asleep on a ride, and kept sleeping while we walked around and explored.







Sawyer and Izzy got sick while we were there, so Bubba enjoyed some down time reading with Grammie.
The things boys find while exploring!






The boys built a "bridge" over the river. They were all so thrilled that there was water in the river!



We made a rope swing while we were there this time.  The boys took out a big bushy tree for us.  






Then we had to figure out how to get the rope up and over the branch way up high.
Kaley helped ;)










We set out to find a puddle to play in!
Boy was this sure fun!!!  It is one of my favorite traditions!  Getting a little muddy!  
















We realized pretty quick which way we all turn when splashed!  We all had a "clean" side!










 I have no pictures of the clean up, only crazy video!  We went down to the ice cold river and cleaned off IN the river!!!  BRRR!!!!


Watching the drone footage!
Puzzles!
Snuggles!
Stickers!

Ping Pong!
Family night lesson!
The fun game!  LipLess!






















Playing on our new rope swing!











You can see the swing from the porch!  It's the best view!  
Bottle rockets!  The kids really made their own this year without any help!!!  I love that they are old enough to figure it out!  






There you go!  If you made it to the end, you're amazing - or bored!  ;)  Such a fun trip!  I look forward to it all year long!  I already can't wait for next year!
