We had such an amazing week! We look forward to our time together at Redfish every year. We have been to Hawaii, the Caribbean, Florida, all across the US and even some places out of the country, but this is the greatest place on earth! It is beautiful!!! But our favorite thing is being with all of Parker's family and reflecting on the memories we've made in the past and making new memories each year. We have traditions that we do every year... dinner together every night where we take turns cooking, early morning skiing, matching family sweatshirts, hiking to the lily pond and waterfall, going to the hot pots, running the amazing race, games, games, games, devotionals each night, and we might have started a new one this year... night skiing??? Larry?! We laughed, stayed up late, played hard, swam, caught minnows, sat on the beach, visited the fish hatchery, hiked, skied and surfed, ran the Amazing Race, played games, read books, went on bike rides, got dirty, ate a lot!, and we all agreed that we could have stayed longer! Thank you Syndee and Larry for all your hard work and planning to make this week every year so wonderful...we love you!



(There are tons of pictures! We had so many good ones to choose from, so hopefully it's not too overwhelming!!!)





Parker is a beautiful skier and so fun to watch! He loves

to tear it up!!!



Ella loved riding on the boat!



Paje and Jackson were never far from each other!



Chloe, Paje, Jackson, and Taylor

What cute cousins!!!


I love my girls!



Chloe was always in the water. It's not warm, so

sometimes she'd come out blue, but still smiling.



There were tons of little fish that we would catch in nets

I got really good at catching the little ones, but Jackson

took the prize! He caught this with a net!



Ella loved laying under an umbrella on the beach



The big boys went out to play sink the dock.

Larry is standing on the corner, hands on hips sinking the kids :)




Chloe practiced writing her name in the sand





We visited the hot pots where the hot water comes out

and mixes with the river water to make it a nice place to sit and relax





Chloe didn't sit and relax at the pots, but practiced her swimming





This is the famous log at Redfish. Many pictures have been taken on this log.

We're wearing our family sweatshirts that Parker and I designed this year!




Jackson and Dawson looking for the pot of gold.

It rained a couple different days we were there for just a little while.

These beautiful rainbows just added to the beauty that surrounded us





Jackson loved going on the morning ski trips with the big boys!





Parker's family!!!





We hiked to the lily pond and waterfall...such a beautiful hike.

We picked huckleberries, and looked for frogs





The waterfall!

Syndee...you're beautiful!

Larry took us out night skiing one night at 11pm.

It was beautiful and the boys said the water was warmer than the air

(It was so fun, even when we thought the sheriff was chasing us)

We were excited for the kids to fish but it started raining, maybe next year.

His family came from Arizona and it was so fun to spend time with them
