No 4th Pictures! Bummer!

So, we had an awesome vacation with Robbie's family. I can't say that I forgot the camera, or that the batteries died. I just have to say that I made sure the batteries were charged, memory stick emptied, and I had it with me at all times...and still didn't take ONE picture! How lame is that!? We headed up to Island Park, ID with Ricky and Stacia on Tuesday. We didn't end up leaving till 6:30, so we didn't get there till 4am! We talked to Robbie's parents till about 5am and then went to bed.

We got up Wednesday morning and went to the river. They brought 2 kayaks and a john boat. Stacia and I were in one kayak, and Robbie and Ricky were in the other. Skye went in the boat with Mom, Dad, and Sadi. Races, of course we raced the boys...and won!!! Ok, we did win, but they only had one paddle! It was way fun, everyone fished but us. We aren't the best fisherwomen, and we were worried about hooking eachother, so we just watched. After fishing, we went to Mack's Inn Playhouse, and had an amazing Prime Rib dinner, and watched the play Beverly Hillbillies 90210. It was so much fun, that is one of my favorite things to do in Island Park.

Thursday we got up earlier, and went to the river again. This time Mom and I were in a kayak together, and she really wanted me to get a fish, so she paddled the WHOLE time, and just let me fish! It was way fun even though I stink at fishing! Is there really skill involved, or is fishing really just luck? I did have lots of bites (I think they were bites, it's a definate possibility they were just snags), but I only caught two fish! Last year I did way better. After the river, we got cleaned up and went back to the Playhouse for another night of amazing dinner and hillarious show! We saw Less Miserables. What a blast!

Friday we decided to go to Jackson Hole. It was a beautiful drive, so green with lots of rolling hills. We walked around, and went to several shops, including this amazing candy shop! They had everything you can imagine, I have to say that was my favorite stop! We went to dinner at the Gun Barrel, and headed home! We got back to the cabin, and built a fire outside. We all sat around eating lots of junk, and CHERRY CREAM SODA (Ricky had 7!)

Saturday morning we got packed up and headed back to Idaho Falls. Mom, Dad, and Sadi had to leave after lunch. They were driving to Portland for Sadi's Basketball tournament (she's amazing). The rest of us went to the mall for a while, and then went and saw My Sister's Keeper. Holy cow, take some tissues! I bawled like a baby, Robbie was making fun the rest of the night. He did admit though that if you didn't cry, you don't have a heart. We went to Stacia's bro's house and had an awesome Mexican dinner, and then headed to the fireworks. I guess the Idaho Falls fireworks are the biggest fireworks on this side of the Mississippi. I don't know, but they are huge. We have been every year since we've been married, so I can't even remember what St. George fireworks are like! We spent the night in Idaho Falls, and headed home Sunday morning.

What a fun vacation! Maybe it's good that I didn't take my camera because we all know that I am not much for words! This is by far the most wordy post I've EVER written!! Thanks Mom and Dad for everything!
