Memorial Weekend

For the last 10 years my Family have been going up to a place called St. Anthony's, Idaho. Usually over Memorial and Labor day. We go up on the Wednesday before and stay until Monday afternoon. It makes for a nice long weekend. Thanks to Tami I was able to go and leave most of my work behind and relax a little.

There is miles and miles of Sand Dunes. It's just 20 minutes from Rexburg and about the same to Idaho Falls. We have stayed at the Sand Hills Resort. Our Big group that have gone with us in the past has been widdled down to just a little bit of Family and Friends. We have enjoyed our trips each time we have gone but I am afraid that this may be our last time visiting. the place has kept changing Management ( which they are better then the previous owners ) but we fought with the water and electricity staying on. The other big disappointment is that they started charging almost 3 times more then what we used to pay for the sites. I could stay at a near by Hotel for way less and have a pool and my bed made everyday. I shouldn't complain. We had a great time and were so glad that we could get away. It rained every day that we were there, the weather broke for maybe 8 hours on two of the days just enough for the kids to be able to get out and ride their bikes and play in the dirt/sand. They are so fun to watch. They enjoy their bikes and we had plenty of kids to play with and a big area for them to ride their bikes.

This is Maddie, Aiden ( which usually has a helmet on ) and then Trina on Jason's bike.

Oh my wonderful home away from home..This Baby has 5 Queen beds, a huge bathroom ( for a trailer ) a filtering water system, a big screen t.v., oh and a garage!! I love this thing. The rain..nope didn't bother me. In fact I never got out of my jammies the 2nd day we were there and then hardly got dressed the following days. I needed it. Don't worry I showered!!

Here is Zach making sure that the kids all go the right direction. We only had one crash the whole trip.

Jason and Jake with Tyler..Just coming back from a ride (Not Tyler, he is not big enough yet) a little chilly, We had to wear hoodies most of the time while outside.

This is Justin messing around on Kenyan's bike. The big show off, he can do trick's on his bike too. He is so cool. He makes the kids laugh!

This is princess Maddie..Oh wait she is not a princess when we are out on the sand or camping, She doesn't want her hair done and doesn't care if she wears the same thing every day. She is a great rider.

This is Little Jason. He is also a great rider..This is him doing one of his tricks, another one is riding real slow with one hand. He wants a dirt bike when he gets bigger so he can jump way high like his Daddy.
