Way to go, Idaho

For our family reunion last summer we went to McCall, Idaho.  A few of us met up at Richard's in Meridian the night before, then we drove up to McCall after church on Sunday.  It was another big lovely house to enjoy.  We found our rooms and settled in.  

The next day we went for a nature walk/hike where we weren't quite sure where we were going, but we were together and had a great time.  

Here's the whole group (minus the photographer) heading out on our 'hike'

Later that day we went to Ice Cream Alley where we all enjoyed delicious ice cream.  We walked around the shops and looked at touristy things.

On Tuesday we had our water day.  We spent the morning on some fun watercraft at Payette Lake.

In the afternoon we went and tried more watercraft, where we had to use our own power.

The problem with writing about this so many months later, I don't remember any little details.  We all hung out together, we played some games, ate some food, and enjoyed our surroundings.  There were some deer sightings at the cabin, and the little ones liked riding bikes around in the garage and the driveway.  We had s'mores one night by the fire on the patio, and we all visited.  I love my family, and I look forward to these reunions every year.  This one was sad because my dad wasn't there, and I know he would have loved the ice cream.
