Photo Shoot Sunday: Grandma Hale

(october 2010)

"Those gasps of astonishment, those shrieks of pleasure, those sighs of delight, lost long ago when your children grew wise and worldly-are suddenly given back to you by your grandchildren. What seems to be the same small hands clutch yours, dragging you from one excitement to another." - Author Unknown

Flashback Friday: Island Park October 2010

For Flashback Friday I thought I would share pictures from last October. We went up to Island Park, Idaho with my extended family. It was so fun! We loved it! We stayed at an awesome cabin. I was still recuperating from my Hysterectomy so I lounged a lot on the bed watching movies, sleeping, enjoying my family, hot chocolate and Fall! It was perfect!

There was hiking, hot tubbing, games, movies, a trek into Yellowstone, and a ton of great food!

We didn't bring swimsuits for our kids so the boys hopped in in their undies,

ally just climbed in with her clothes on.

On our way home we stopped in Rigby, Idaho to see my Grandma and Grandpa Burke's

old farm. It's been a few years seen we have seen the old place. It hasn't changed much. The new owners were kind enough to let us take some photos of it.

I loved that the old screen door was still on.
