Our 4th of July break was fantastic! We spent a week up at my mom's cabin in palisades Idaho. It is sooo beautiful there! My sister Marissa flew in from San Diego and Ashley and her husband came up for a few days as well. It was wonderful to have my sisters for a while and to have the girls get some time with them. My family put on an awesome birthday day starting with a day of boating on the lake and ending with my favorite meal and a coldstone ice cream cake. Yummy! Thanks everyone! While we were sad to see Ben go back to work, the girls and I kept on enjoying the cabin. We rode the four wheelers, watched the baby humming birds, played in the lake, went boating again, went to the Bar J Wranglers and even took a day to do some shopping in Jackson Hole! Our week was packed full of fun and family... what a great week!!!
