We got there just in time to celebrate Zachary and Savannah's birthdays!
They have a great backyard, it's about 5 times the size of ours which gives the kids plenty of space to run and play.
Linsey and Braydon are one year apart. I love that they have always been good friends and I hope they will be even closer as they become teenagers, the way my brother Chris and I were.
We spent one afternoon playing at a nearby beach. My kids never get tired of sand and water. It's one of our favorite things to do.
Hunter, Zach and Savannah are all the same age. I love this picture of Hunter and Savannah jumping off the dock together.
Linsey spent almost two hours digging up clay and making little pots.
Uncle Chris is super amazing and does a great job entertaining all the kids with his rockets.
I think the highlight of the entire weekend for Hunter was testing out the cousins new Go-Kart!

Grandma and Grandpa came up Friday evening and we had a big BBQ and birthday party for the twins. Seriously, non-stop fun!
Saturday, we spent the entire day at Silverwood Theme Park. We left at 9:30 a.m. and got home at 11:30 p.m. The kids were exhausted, but honestly, so were the adults. I've never felt so tired. We had a really great time. I opted to leave my camera at home so here is my only shot of the day... just about to head out.
Sunday after church, we drove by my brother's new office. Typically we get together over the summer more, but with Jared in school and Chris busy moving his practice, both our families have been tied down a bit more than usual.
Chris finished medical school and moved to Coeur d'Alene about 4 years ago where he joined another doctor and began working as a Podiatrist. Recently, they bought a new building and did a major face-lift inside and out. They are still working on some finishing touches, but here is the "almost" finished product!
Dr. Christopher Butler
... kinda weird, to me he'll always just be Chris.
the cousins
the whole crew, a.k.a. Chris's fan club.
Tally is really talented with her fancy new camera and did all of the art work throughout the office.
Each of the rooms has great pictures of local, beautiful spots. It's such a perfect idea.
I think everyone enjoyed themselves checking out all of the latest equipment,
and especially testing out the chairs.
I doubt Chris ever puts a patient up quite that high.
After a delicious Sunday dinner, we all said our goodbyes.
I love that these kids just can't get enough of each other.
We can't wait til the next time we can get together, I'm sure we'll have even more fun!

Love these last two posts! What fun you guys have been having! Love seeing Chris's office too, and I agree tooooo weird to see him as Dr. Butler. However, if I ever have a foot problem I will probably be driving to Idaho!
