Boynton 4th of July Bash
McCall, Idaho

Day 1: Friday
We arrived at the cabin on Friday morning after staying with Aunt Lynne in Boise Thursday night. We met Ell, Paul, and Cash who came over from Portland.

Elliot was ready to swim from the get-go.

Although we saw a fox and an elk (did we ever decide what that really was?) during our stay, the true wildlife was caught on film below! Never a dull moment with Milo and Elliot around!

We swam at the Lake within the first hour.

Enjoyed a visit from our friend, the fox.

Despite the pesky mosquitoes, we made a fire and cooked s'mores.

Day 2: FOURTH OF JULY!
We hit up the craft fair 10 miles south of McCall. Perhaps the most interesting craft was the one-man-band who played the guitar, fiddle, and drums. He had strings attached to his hands and feet allowing him to play the drums, which were strung down his back.

The wildflowers were to die for. The poppies were my favorite.

We waited over an hour at the lakefront for the fireworks to start. The spectacular sunset, however, gave the firework show a run for its money.

Elliot got cozy with a new friend.

The firework display over the lake was accompanied by many ooohs and awwhs.

Day 3: Sunday
We slept in, had a huge breakfast, and headed to the fish hatchery.

Not only did we see tons of salmon...but we got a visit from this guy...

Aunt Lynne and I fashioned our fresh daisy bracelets.

Next, we relaxed and ate lunch at the rotary park.

We stopped and ate delicious ice cream and enjoyed the scenic drive through Ponderosa Park.
The boys were all tuckered out and took a synchronized, Sunday nap.

The viewpoint at "Lover's Leap."

We took a leisurely stroll around the swamp/meadow.

We finished out the night with another delicious bbq at the cabin, followed by games and much laughter. . Monday we packed up and headed out. What a shame that it had to come to an end. If you ask me, this is what summer is all about! Is it too early to ask when the next trip will be?
Hollerin'....Aunt Lynne, oh, Aunt LYNNE?!
