I can't believe it but we took a family vacation without attending a family reunion or to visit family. We had a blast! Since we were in the car a lot, we had lots of time to remenis about our family vacations when we were young."The Glass House" Amazingly this house was made completely of old formaldehyde bottles. The man who built it was a retired mortician. He actually lived in the house for many years. Now his family gives tours of grandpa's house.
Each day of our trip we went swimming at a different hot springs. Our first hot springs stop was Ainsworth Hot Springs. Our kids swimming abilities improved a lot after a week of soaking in different pools. 
It is always amazing to me what our kids will do for an ice cream. Tim is "Mr. Briber". I guess you got to do what works.
I sure love my Jackson. This is a picture of him filling his pockets with flowers for me. Jackson's favorite part of the trip was the Ferry rides.Sally made camping interesting. The first night we camped she screamed on and off all night long. The next morning a woman said, "So that's the baby who kept everyone up." We also tried staying in hotel
s to avoid the screaming. Didn't work:)

On the last day of our trip we went to the historical Fort Steel. I think this was Kate's most favorite thing we did. She was practically running to the next thing that they would act out or teach you about. We learned about a women's work, panning for gold, what a black smith would do, how to pack a team of mules and the list goes on. We thought our kids would last a few hours. but to our surprise they loved it. Basically every 15-30 minutes you could go to another spot at the fort to see how things use to be a 100 years ago. This is a picture of our kids at the school.
