The last couple weeks of summer were a dream come true. Finally relief from the heat! My Grandpa arranged for us to spend a week in one of the many cabins he has built in Island Park. The whole Everton family, my sister Jan and her family, and my brother Blake all joined together for the kind of fun we only dream about. This is what I did as a kid and to relive it with our kids was magical to me. 
17 kids, 11 adults, 2 boats, 1 jet ski, 5 four wheelers = too much fun!
Welcome to the cabin of our dreams!!
Grandpa would come visit everyday...it was so fun to see him in his element!
Grandma & Grandpa meet Claire for the first time...they loved her (of course)!
Todd was our own personal chef...boy we had some fun meals!
This was Jared & Zach's birthday feast...yum, yum!
Zach had a grand old time opening his gifts with ALL his cousins.
Happy 35th and 7th!
We had a quiet morning on Jared's birthday...the kids got him some new scriptures.
Did I mention that..."i love this guy?"
cute girls!
I swear there is a picture of me when I was Audrey's age of this same pose...I'll have to find it!
Audrey loved the hot tub!
The kids would play in the lake then jump the hot tub to get warm. :)
Hannah & Audrey loving their new babies Carson & Claire.

The kids were exhausted each day after all all the fun...Ellie especially!

The kids couldn't get enough!
We did slow rides and fast ones...
One day Jared took the girls on a little outing.
more water excitement...
Here is the master suite...and thank you mom for holding the babies! :)
We went to West Yellowstone and saw Footloose at the Play Mill Theater.
Zach & Dallin both tried to water skiing...it can be frustrating at times.
