Warm River Idaho July 2013

A big part of our trip to Idaho was going to Warm River. It is a pretty small river near Ashton that they stock with trout. As a family we went there at least twice during our stay but Paul was probably there 4 or 5 times. It was a great place to take the kids fishing and swimming and it just might be one of Paul's favorite places on earth.  The first time we went, we made a day trip of it and floated down a small part of the river several times. Macie still talks about playing motor boat with Papa David. There is also another part of the river with big fat fish that you can feed. That was probably one of the highlights for the kids. 

Trip to Idaho Summer 2013...On the Road

This summer we decided to drive from North Carolina to Idaho. The adventure began in the car. I spent the month before making and gathering games and toys to keep the kids entertained during the long drive. The biggest hit was the prize bag. Every so often I let them pick a ticket. The pattern on the ticket matched up with a prize. The whole ride actually went pretty well. I may have over compensated on the entertainment but hey we got through the drive so all in all it was a success making it possible for us to try it again in a few years.

St Louis Arch, always an awesome site

We found a few new temples on the way

What we have been up to...June 2013

We started June out right by celebrating Paul's birthday at the lake. Aiden and I made fishing cupcakes for him the night before, however we did not get to enjoy them until the day after his birthday because Aiden wasn't feeling well. When we got off the water he had a fever so we just headed home instead.

Strawberry Picking

May in North Carolina means strawberry picking season. It gets us out and is something the kids enjoy doing. We ended up going out a couple of times to enjoy those yummy juicy berries. You can't help sampling some along the way.

Camping at Pilot Mountain

For Memorial weekend we met up with all the "east coast Korths" for a camping trip to Pilot Mountain in North Carolina. Turns out none of us are Korths anymore so we called it our "non-Korth reunion" We had so much fun with everyone. I love it when we are able to get together with all of them and Aiden and Macie love their cousin time. Hopefully we can do it again next year.
