Our trip up yonder

We had a Zollinger reunion in Idaho, so the girls and I made a major trek out of it. Tod had to go to Taiwan, so he couldn't join us. :(

Rexburg has a spankin' new waterpark right next door to Zollinger Construction. I was very impressed with The Burg for this addition to the community. It's real nice.

 The whole fam headed up to Island Park for a reunion. We took up the entire dining hall. Almost as impressive as the waterpark...


Evidently, this buffalo killed someone. That's why it's hanging there. Lynne overheard someone talking about it, but she thought they meant the geese....

Lots and lots of time was spent on the canoes and paddle boat. Ana, Grant & Christian were almost always in one.



Edie was teasing me about the big bump on my face with two holes in it and hair coming out.





Ana put feathers in all the little girl's hair. They were thrilled.

Grandma brought all the stuff to make jewelery. Ana's was cute. See how nicely it matches her new tie dye tee?

Tie dying was a blast. However, I shoulda been smart like my sister and wore gloves. There are still dye remnants around my nails 2 weeks later.

One afternoon we all floated the river. It took two rafts to carry everyone. The current wasn't anything to brag about, so it turned out to be quite a workout to move that boat for the 3 hours it took to get to the end.


 

We had a wonderful time and it was great to connect with everyone. And very sad to say goodbye. Especially for the cousins. My kids really dislike being so far away from their beloved cousins.

I LOVE all of the various lake pictures. A lot of killer time was spent there. And such a gosh darn shame that Todd couldn't be there. He woulda loved it.
