Island Park Weekend

We spent a fun weekend in Island Park for Mark's BYU-I ward activity! We camped at Wade's cabin on the Island Park Reservoir. So fun! Jeff cooked an awesome dutch oven dinner for everyone on Friday night. Then the kids hung out around the fire and played guitars and sang songs. The girl's slept in the cabin, and the boys pitched tents in the yard. We had breakfast in the morning, and then headed to the lake for the day. Mark rented paddle boards, kayaks, tubes, and rafts for the kids to use. Wade's son also brought his boat up so everyone could go tubing. It was a blast!

Here are some of the BYU-I students that spent the night. More came up on Saturday morning. They are so fun!
We walked down to the lake on Friday night. The area is so pretty!
Campfire songs!
Wade, Jeff, and Mark-These three are a dynamic bishopric! They are so great, and the students love them!
Blowing up the water toys!
She was so excited to be at the lake! We used to do 'Water Wednesday,' and go to a different water park each week during the summer.  This summer she has to be all grown up, and have a couple jobs, so we don't get to do that anymore. This was her first water day of the summer, and she loved every second of it!
I love this picture! Mason and Bailey jumping in!
Bailey did an ab workout while Mason paddled her around the lake! :)
Hahahaha!
Bailey and Mason had so much fun on the tube! I was laughing so hard at Bailey's expressions! There is never any wondering what she's thinking...it's all right there on her face! I wish I would have brought my phone on the boat so I could have filmed them.

Such a beautiful place!

When everyone went back to the cabin to have lunch, Mason, Bailey, Aubrey, and I stayed at the lake to watch all the water toys. We got too hungry to wait for them to bring us food, so we busted out the cracker jacks and gold fish.
Everyone had a great time! Bailey and Mason were nice and sun burned by the end of the day. The college kids are already asking if they can plan to do it again in a couple weeks!
