Labor Day Fun

This Labor Day my family traveled up to Idaho City and Robie Creek for some fun in the sun. We were planning to meet at my house and caravan up together. Becca said she would be at my house at 8:00, so I told everyone else to be at my house by 9:00. Everyone showed up by 8:30 and Becca and her family showed up around 10:15. (In all fairness, Becca had seven people to get out the door.) We arrived in Idaho City vistor center just in time for three people to ride up on horses. The owner of the horses offered to let the children ride the horses. All my neices and nephews, except Libby who's afraid of large animals, rode the horses around the parking lot.



After the horse ride we walked over to the park and enjoyed a potluck lunch. Much to the children's delight, there was a stage. After lunch the children entertained us with every motion song known to man since the beginning of time.



After the entertainment provided by the children we walked around the town taking in the sites. We even stopped to get ice cream at a local ice cream parlor.


Then we drove down to Robie Creek for a relaxing afternoon and dinner. It was a beautiful day and the water looked so inviting. Unfortunatly, none of us had thought to bring our swimsuits, so we had to be content with just wading up to our knees. After playing in the water some of us enjoyed walking around, taking in the scenery.







We had three dogs and eight children with us and we never lost track of one of them. One of my sisters did however lose her husband for a short while. A quick search found him taking a nap.
