Bybee Family Reunion: 8.2.08 Downata Hotsprings

A couple of weeks ago the kids and I drove up to Idaho with my Mom and brother Greg, to attend the Bybee Family Reunion. We met at Downata Hotsprings, which was a childhood favorite place of mine. I have a lot of great memories from here, and as we pulled up and saw the giant yellow sign and the pool and grounds tucked in the trees I was reminded of old photos of my cousins and siblings, running around playing on these same old swings and slides. We didn't get to swim because we got there just as the picnic was starting. But the kids had a great time playing with their cousins and eating good food. Thanks to Uncle Garth and Aunt Yvette for planning a fun weekend! These are some of my favorite images from the first night of the reunion. Get a load of the kids faces in some of the later images! I think Crew had that dirt moustache for a couple of days!

Pineview

About a week ago we went with our friends, Cheree and Brady Stout and Brian, Bransen and Scarlett Koch up to Pineview Reservoir to hang out at the beach and swim. It was a beautiful day, except for the wind that kept blowing the rainbow umbrella over and dragging our tubes across the sand. The kids had a blast swimming, playing in the sand, and eating (mostly fritos). It was nice to get some sun and relax in the waves. Here are some of my favorite images from our Saturday at the beach.
