Our Week on the Shadowy St. Joe

We spent five days with Paul and Cindee at their cabin on the St. Joe river off of Couer d'Alene at the end of June. The trip was nearly perfect. Water, happy kids, family, biking, waterskiing, tubing, getting pulled over by the lake police (Paul talks his way out of every ticket ever), almost wakeboarding (a story for another time which involves a high-speed pursuit of a tube-stealer), running, reading, laying around, talking, making memories...what an amazing time.

Paul and Cindee are great hosts and it was so fun to watch the relationships between the cousins deepen even more. Sophie and Lexie read for hours together and made up a show for our last morning. Kate and Alyssa loved spending time together, and we all loved watching Ella. Two year olds are hysterical. Josh loved hanging and biking with Paul and Cindee, and he once again popped up on skis. He may match his dad and uncle's skills yet.

Here are some pictures of our fantastic week on the St. Joe's. We can't wait to go back.
