Here are a few pictures that Jared has taken while on his adventure to the top!

4th of July

For the 4th of July we headed up to Island Park! We were so excited to go on vacation for 5 days! We had a blast with the family and made good memories while we were there.
One that Lydia will remember is our stop at the gas station to get Jared a fishing license and getting attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes. Mason was content as could be as Lydia and I were swatting and waving blankets to make them go away.
This was the first time my Grandma and Grandpa Freeman had seen Mason. He greeted them with his warm smiles and had lots to tell them. Mason and Grammies had their fun together camping and going for walks and talking with the other families around. He was a good baby for it being his first camping trip! Aunt Carrie even came up and was giving him tips on things. Aunt Katie and Uncle Richard were practicing (help taking care of Mason) with Mason for when their baby arrives in January. I think the one who really was really a big helper with Mason was Morgan. He helped me give Mason a bath and get him dressed he even changed Masons diaper!
One thing we noticed was that everyone around us knew who Lydia was and they all got a kick out of her. Especially her Papa Paul, they got along really well. Papa Paul teased Lydia but she was too smart for he own good and would always come back with something to make him smile. Usually if Lydia was wandering she would be at Grandma Freeman’s trailer hanging out having breakfast or just talking with Grandma.
Bumpa went on the ride of his life with Lydia that he will never forget! She took over and drove the 4-wheeler and almost threw Bumpa off the back! She did the same thing with Jared and almost ran into a tree. Lydia has no fear.
Lydia was Patrics shadow most of the time while we were there to. Everywhere Patric went Lydia went to.
Jared was up early in the morning determined to catch his fish that broke his line last year. It is out there somewhere! He did catch 2 fish but they were too small to eat so he had to release them. Jared and I also went on 4wheeler rides and a lot of walks with Mason and Lydia. On the fourth we watched the fireworks at Jacobs Ranch and also the show they had on the lake. Mason and Lydia liked the bright lights.
Julie and Katie had a good game of no bears were out tonight and had the kids pretty entertained. While Traci and I enjoyed the campfire perfecting our smores.
The best part was one of the biggest Slumber parties ever. There was Mom, Dad, Carrie, Julie, Jared, Me, Richard, Katie, Traci, Mason, Lydia, Morgan and Patric all together in the trailer! Yes literally wall to wall people!
We had a really fun Labor Day Weekend! We decided the very last minute to take a trip to Idaho and visit my family! We had lots of fun seeing everyone. Lydia was so excited and couldn't wait to see her Grammies and Bumpa. It has been a long time since we have been to my parent’s house and this was Masons very first time! We got to do a lot of fun things.
Saturday, we went to the Blackfoot parade. It has always been a tradition to watch the parade at my Aunt Vonda’s house since she lives right on the parade route! After the parade, was Morgan’s football game in Pocatello. While we went to Morgan’s game, Lydia stayed with Uncle Keean and Aunt Heidi to play in the pool with all of the cousins! She didn't want to leave and had so much fun there! Next we had a barbeque that dad cooked up for us! Then we headed off to the Eastern Idaho State Fair! It was a busy and eventful day but really fun as well!
Sunday, was a day we all hung out at Grammies and Bumpa's house. We were so tired from the day before and we didn't want to do much. Although we did have our trip to Wal-Mart and later that evening we had another dinner with everyone.
Monday, was our last day together. We wanted to visit Richard, Katie and baby Ashden's new place. It will be a very cute townhome to start a new family! We also went to visit Mickey and Traci's new apartment. Traci always has everything put together cute! It was fun to see where everyone is living now, especially since Katie and Traci are the little sisters and it doesn't seem like they are old enough to have their own places. Man time flies! Our last stop was to see Carrie. We were going to visit her while she was working at the children’s clinic but we found out that she was off at noon. So we saw her at home! Lydia loves to go to Carries because she has cool toys that the boys have collected. Besides all the toys there it was fun to see Aunt Carrie to! I did find it funny when Carrie mentioned she made a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie! "Way to go Carrie I am impressed!"
All in all it was a good trip and we saw everyone even if it was only for a few seconds. Jason, Tracey and Lizzy (friends of the family) also joined us this weekend which was really fun to have them. Here are a few pictures of our Labor Day Weekend Trip!
