We have always spent every Labor Day going to my grandparents' house in Firth, Idaho. They live just up the street from the Eastern Idaho State Fair. We usually go to that the Saturday before. We are limiting our time at Grandma's now that there are so many of us. We now try to hold our parties on their property and the cousins camp out.
Lil' Winn getting ready to enjoy some fish. Not really but this kid will eat anything.
My Grandpa created a pond on his property from the canal water. He then stocks it with fish. This is a dream come true for the boys in the family. How would it be to have enough property to put a huge pond on it?
Brian, Evy, Jack, Elena, Maddi, Sami and Allie watching Matt canoe. Derek was actually swimming in it.
Gramma Yena, Winston, Allie, Nelson. Allie and I got to drive up together and we gossiped until the cows came home. I definitely do not get enough interaction with women.
Grandpa getting ready to cook up some corn. Their corn on the cob is the best. That is my Grandpa Ford's truck in the back. He only drives a Ford. :) Oh and my Grandpa is 92.
My Grandpa took an old swing set and tied swings to it. So innovative.
Evy, Zach, Brooklyn, Maddi and Kate playing "Bubble Gum."
Grandpa and Shecky
Brian, Maggie and Allie. Thank goodness my Auntie Shawna brought burgers so I didn't have to eat fish. Nelson ate like 5 pieces because my Cousin Mark that is a chef cooked it up for everyone.
My step-cousin used to live in a trailer on the property. He recently moved so my Grandpa took advantage of the plumbing hookups. He built an outhouse with a flushing toilet and lights.
Now we can camp in style. Can't wait to go next year! I hope Evy has memories of my grandparents because they are amazing.
