We came home Sunday night, and then spent all morning Monday washing clothes and packing for McCall. Our friends the Castletons moved to Mesa last year, and they came up to visit family. Before they went to Fruitland, they invited us to their cabin right on Lake Payette in McCall. It was WONDERFUL. 
The swimming pool was right next to the condo, and the lake and beach were a few more steps past that. We rode the jetski, on the boat and we rented kyaks.
What a great time! The boys loved playing in the lake and in the sand.
We took a nice boat ride to an island, docked and went exploring. The boys said that was their favorite part- being pirates and exploring the island. Before we left it, Kellen (the tour guide) made us all say "We conqured Cougar Island!" We also went into town for breakfast one morning and ate at the Pankake House. I wish I would have had my camera, the pankakes were as big as my plate and not just any plate but a very large oval- maybe I should say platter size- HUGE! The "small" pancakes were as big as a normal plate, and the cinnamon rolls were the size of a pie plate. It was delicious. Then on the way out of town we stopped at Ice Cream Alley for big ice cream cones- yum!
We had great friends, great food, tired kids and lots of sunburned faces. We all wanted to stay longer, but alas it was back to work. Now we are all recovering (mostly me, I still haven't unpacked :) Now we only have about a week and a half to get ready for the next adventures! Isn't it so fun to be so busy during the summer?
