Hillbilly Holiday!

Drew and I had a GREAT and packed weekend!  It was just awesome!  We started the weekend as soon as Drew got home from school and the fun didn't stop till Saturday night!
On Friday it was off to Beaver Dick Park for some camping and fishing!  It is only about 5 minutes outside of Rexburg and it is right next to a fishing river!  Our friends Steve and Kelly came along and I am soooo glad! It was a super fun time as usual with this great couple!
I got Drew a fishing pole and tackle box for Father's Day(or as we call it spouse appreciation day) so it was about time we got to try it out!

Drew looking like my cowboy prince!              It was such a great camping spot!

Waiting to go fishing!

When Kelly and Steve got there they brought this surprise, WORMS!! But they were the ticket to catching fish!

Official Tent Pictures :)

So when we first headed off to go fishing we wanted to find somewhere quiet that the fish were biting, but we ended up in this muddy swamp thing! We were sinking every step we took! 

 

Kelly is a fishing champ!! We were fishing for about                                   My Fish! Soo proud!

 an hour and couple not catch anything! Then Kelly

 grabbed hold of a pole and she caught a fish in about

 2 minutes! She ended up catching the most, about 7!

               CHAMPION fisher-woman!

 Drew was sooo happy to catch a fish!! 

                                 Just look at his face!!                                                          Steve's catch!!

While we were fishing we looked up and saw these 3 Deer!! Only in Idaho!

We had all sort of fire going with our Tiki torches! We had some good food for dinner! Grilled chicken sandwiches and corn on the cob! Yum!

Once it got dark we started some real fun! Kelly bought these super bright glow sticks! You could see us from a mile away :)  Steve got a special glow stick with an ax attached, but his was super tiny!

We also wanted to set off one of our fireworks! Getting excited for 4th of July!

It was a lot bigger than we all thought!! Super sparkly!!

The next morning we were up early for fishing! Breakfast was delicious, french toast!!

After we came home from camping we got a quick shower we were off again to Ririe Lake/Dam!  We carpooled with about 4 other cars and had about 15 people.  

Super fun, but we had no idea what we were in for! We thought there would be a beach, nope!

We barbequed on the ledge of the cliff!

Food is always good when you are swimming all day!

Some cool kids jumping off the cliff! I was a chicken and had to wait till a bunch of other people jumped before I got up the courage!

Steve jumps into the lake in style! Look at that form!!

Jumping off!                                   We made it!!              

                                               I love Nicole's victory wave!

We look pretty good after a full day of swimming!!

Ladies!

We somehow got everyone into one picture!!

It was super fun! Glad we were able to go!
