Memorial Day Madness!

Every Memorial Day we have our annual raft trip on the Saint Joe River. We camp, go shooting, hunting, 4 wheeling, to the little ward in St. Maries, have a dutch oven potluck and raft with family and friends. Here are a few cute pics.

Kisses for Cade!

Jon with the Head Honcho, Steve, Brynne's dad. This was right after a run. The water is always like ice, so there is sufficient need for some fire time afterward!!
Cade in his cute new camping chair. He was such an outdoorsman. He loved every minute of the dirt, dogs, 4 wheeling, fires, and camping treats! Steve and Brynne took him on a 4 wheeling ride up Prospector for about an hour in the rain and he loved it. He even fell asleep toward the end. What a trooper!

Here's his ride with Daddy...notice both their faces! They look alike, huh?

All of the mom's arranged a treasure hunt for the kids. Here is all the cousins who participated. (minus Cade, but he sure tried to keep up!)

Here is a sequence of the biggest wave in Skookum Canyon this year. The water was the highest is has been in a long time. We could do a run in 30 min. and it had flooded all of St. Maries... and it was still cold as ever!! (Top pic. LtoR: Jim Lee, Steve, Brynne, Brett, Cameron Morton and Rick Caudle.)

One of the rafting runs, on the same wave, all of the crew members fell out except Jonny. He had to save them all before they became hypothermic! Way to go! Here is the clip.

The trip is always a great time. We love spending time with family and friends and enjoying the great outdoors. We also took time to acknowledge our loved ones who have passed on, who we love and miss dearly.
