Parsons' Family Vacation- Cascade, ID (July)

On our way to Cascade we stopped over in Tri-Cities and hung out at the "River House" while Mike worked (he is developing a master-planned community on the river, gorgeous place to live!). It is HOT in Richland so we broke out the pool.
Josh singing away.
I dared to let Jake hold (tightly) Josh while I snapped a few quick photos. Phew, it all worked out. Just the other day, I was running the bath water for the boys and giving them haircuts. While I cut Jake's hair Ben and Josh were playing in the running water. Next thing I know I hear a funny sound and turn around to see Josh had fallen into the tub, pjs and all. Yikes! If I hadn't of been there he would have drown. I quickly pulled him out of the water and he was soaked and covered in bubbles...sreaming. We had a close call so we try to be pretty careful around water. Josh loves it...but maybe a bit too much.
Mike played softball with his brother and afterwards took the boys onto the big field to catch some pop flies and field a few grounders. Fun, fun.
The moon is always huge and beautiful at the "river house". Jake and Ben love looking at it. We don't get to see the moon too much in Issaquah. The clouds are too often and the trees around our house too tall.

Finally, here we are in Cascade. These photos are out of order but why not start with a little ice cream?!
Big bite.
Cousin Maddy
Cousin Norah. She looks like a teenager here but she is only 5.

Gone fishing...
Learning the ropes...how to hook up a worm.
Nothing better then the great outdoor latrine.
We hiked to a little lake and back up. It wasn't a big hike but my boys did great on the way there and not so great on the way back.
Isn't Jake precious.

Norah and Josh.
Grandpa Bob and Josh.
The whole Parsons clan.
Aunt Brooke reading the kids a story before naptime.
The best part of vacation...ATV's. The boys call them monster trucks.
