Troy's family had a reunion in McCall idaho over the 24th of July. Kailey did pretty well on the drive up to Boise friday night but it would have been nice to have a DVD player in our van (for me and Kailey). We discovered a week before the trip that Kailey loves to sit in the drivers seat and push every button she can find and pretend to drive. She even tried to talk on the phone and drive at the same time (hmmm I wonder where she has seen this before...Troy! just kidding I am guilty as well) We can't believe how much she catches on to. When we stopped for dinner or gas we would let her take a break from her car seat and sit in the front. She loves it and cries when we take her away.
We spent a lot of our time down at the lake on the beach or in the pool right by it. Kailey loved to play in the sand!
It was so fun to get to know Troy's cousins better. This is Jen and her husband Guy (who was nice enough to bring up their boat and take everyone for rides, or give them ski, or wake boarding lessons) and their kids Connor and Summer.
Guy and Summer
My in-laws Dick and Kris were so kind and helpful with Kailey! They watched her several times so Troy and I could go do things on our own. They even treated us to huckleberry icecream cones at "Ice Cream Alley" (a small ice cream stand in town) Thanks you guys!
All of us went to a local park so our kids could play.
Our nephew Shawn was so kind and held on to Kailey while they went down the slide. He is so gentle and sweet to her. She loves to see him and his three brothers.
She didn't want to go down the twisty slide alone so dad had to go with her.
She loved it when grandma Parkin would push her in the swings!
The weather was perfect and the sunsets were amazing.
It was so nice to only be in charge of one dinner and one breakfast. The rest of the time we woke up to the smell of someone else making breakfast, or we would come back from swimming and dinner was on the table waiting for us (that is my idea of a vacation!). We took a lot of walks, bike rides, trips to the beach, played games, and enjoyed being together. Kailey loved to play with Halle (Troy's cousin Dan's little girl).
Kelli, Gina, and I
We also went with Dan, Kelli, and Dick to a frisbee golf course. It was amazing how big this place was, and the course was not easy. It basically took you through thick shrubs and pine trees and fields of wild flowers. We spent a good deal of time trying to find our frisbees or getting them out of trees. It was really fun!

Me (I did awful by the way, I stopped counting when I was 9 over par on the SECOND one)
even Kailey wanted a turn to throw it.
Other than the awful mosquitos we had a great time.
We had such a blast and we can't wait for the next family reunion!
