Pre Idaho craziness....

I was able to spend some time in Utah with my folks. These are pictures of Temple square and also of our Holmes family reunion in Northern Idaho. Thanks dad for the pictures. :)
Our Family lodge....boo hoo hooo :(

Robbie LOVED his bed at the hotel. His own private nook in the wall.

Idaho

We were able to spend some time in Idaho for a family reunion with my dads side of the family. This was a lot of fun! My grandparents rented out May Family Ranch so we had the place to ourselves. In Idaho we did lots of fishing, played on a giant waterslide, mining for gold, playing in the stream, fishing, shoot targets, fishing, swimming in hot springs, swimming in a freezing lake, visiting a ghost town and more fishing. What can I say...Rogers are natural fisherman...and Robbie was a natural from the second he got his pole. WARNING: Millions of pictures to follow....
My dad bought the kids these great nets for catching fish in the stream!
My FIRST fish!
I love fishing with Grandpa!
Family Picture :)

Fishing- was quite the natural!
Grandpa only had to show him a few times before he was casting himself.
Panning for Gold
They each found 2 pieces! We're rich!
After the waterslide: Warning...you will get wet!
Lauren preferred the stream to the slide!
This was a popular activity...every compared their bruises afterwards!
Robbie LOVED it!

Deep in concentration. I rocked!

Robbie hit the targets a couple of times.

They guys were all going for the same targets. They did great!
This pond was so stocked that even Lauren caught a fish!

Utah

Rob had some work that needed to be done on his short film at BYU so we took a week break in Utah. Both of Rob's sisters lived there so we had a lot of fun. We sure wish that Robbie and Lauren could live by the cousins and hang out all the time! The kids had fun bowling with their cousins, doing fireworks and sparklers, swimming in the pool, playing in the dirt and much more. Unfortunately I didn't get tons of pictures in Utah! It was nice for me, I actually even got a few times away from kids with my sister in laws.
