Overnight McCall trip

The girls and I drove to McCall with my sister in law Laurel last Monday. We visited with my other sister in law Penny and her four kids at their cabin. We stayed overnight and had loads of fun. Monday, the weather was not cooperating (hail and rain in July) so we went ice skating. Unfortunately I forgot my camera so no pictures :( It was McKenna's first time and Aunt Laurel was a great teacher. By the end of the day McKenna could skate to and from the wall to a bucket a few yards away. The bucket was for pushing so the kids didn't fall. She did really great and loved it. Ryleigh even got a chance to go out on the ice with Aunt Laurel. I think Laurel's arm was about to fall off at the end of the third time. Ryleigh kept leaning back and yelling for joy. She loved it too. Aunt Penny was nice enough to make cupcakes for a belated birthday party for McKenna.

Tuesday the weather was much better for boating and tubing. Laurel even tried wake boarding. She even got up for a few seconds. McKenna went tubing with her cousin Matthew. They kept wanting to go faster and faster. Luckily they were not thrown out of the tube. I don't know what Mckenna would have done if she landed in the water. I, unfortunately, could not go in the boat or ice skating. BooHoo! :( Ryleigh kept me company both times and played on the beach. She loves getting her hands in the sand. She is going to be my messy kid. Yesterday, I caught her playing in Thumper's water bowl and adding dirt to it. Poor dog! Ryleigh was soaked and muddy. She yelled when I finally pulled her away to clean out the dog's bowl.

We went home after lunch on Tuesday and went black light mini golfing with some friends for a surprise birthday party. Thanks Penny for a fun trip. Wish we could have stayed longer!
