The Big House

We recently spent a weekend in McCall with 7 other families.
It wasn't as chaotic as you may imagine it would or could be, however, there were a few comical moments. The best may have been the 45 minutes after we put 5 children to bed in the third floor bunk room. In the end, only one child made it through the night up there; the rest were unwilling brought into their parents' rooms.

We made a stop off at Gold Fork Hot Springs before returning home on Sunday



Notice the sand on the right- I finally told Cecilia that this is not a great time of the year to make sand castles after realizing there was snow only a few feet away from the sandy beach. I probably should have made this observation long before her 4th sand castle.
Silly mama was having way too much fun relaxing!



Idaho, we have fallen for you!
