July 11 – The boys woke up early and went fishing. The girls went searching for “Big Nelly” in the pond after breakfast.

After lunch we headed over to the Rexburg city park where they had a splash pad and carousel.

The pond at the cabins was the source of hours of fun, and relaxation.

The resort had a whole rack of bikes for patrons to use and, even though they were adult size, the boys used them. Carson would help Carter get started and then when it came time to stop, he would just slow down and jump off.

The main cabin had this giant Connect 4 game that got a lot of use as well.

That evening we celebrated Carter’s 8th birthday since we were going to be checking out and driving to the McKay reunion the next day.

Carter received a couple presents while we were there. We found some marshmallow blow guns at the store while we were in Rexburg and the kids had a blast playing with those.

Once it got dark, we all played kick-the-can. It was great fun once we got the logistics worked out.

The next morning we packed up, washed some laundry at a laundry mat in Idaho Falls, and then drove to Clayton for the McKay family reunion. We let Carter decide where we ate lunch since it was his birthday and he picked… McDonalds!
