Bethany Beach

We met up with Kory and her girls again this summer at Bethany Beach.  The kids all played so well together and it was wonderful to get to spend time with Kory and her girls.  We also spent a day with my mom's friend who lives just 40 minutes from the beach.  Joanne and Fedeli made us an amazing lunch and the boys got to play in their pool and hang out with the chickens.  Colton came up on our last day with Otto and Rory which was also so much fun.

Minnetonka Cave, Idaho

Minnetonka Cave is one of the larger limestone caves in Idaho. It is located in Caribou National Forest in Bear Lake County, Idaho, United States, above the village of St. Charles. We have seen the signs for Minnetonka the past several years when going to/from Bearh Lake, but never made our way over there.  We bought tickets because the entry is timed and is apparently very tight. The boys did well with all the steps and is something we will most likely do again. The boys really liked the Oregon Trail Museum in Montpelier where they also had a train display and quilt show. 

Yellowstone

We spent the weekend up at Yellowstone with Rod, Ileene, Demetria, Trent, Finn, and Lily.  Driving over we stopped at Mesa Falls. The kids all did so great and it was such a fun weekend.  We saw Old Faithful and a bunch of buffalo.  We also visited Bear World and got to see some wolves and bears fairly close up. 

Owen's 10th Birthday

We realized that Owen has spent pretty much every birthday at the Meadow.  Ileene made an amazing Minecraft-themed cake and fun was had by all swimming and running around.
