More of the Bouck's and Call's

Meal times were always just pure chaos. I loved it. Chris and Ryan maybe not so much. I loved how little Abram always told you at least 10 times what he wanted and at least once every meal told us that he did not like ketchup.
Emma even enjoyed the stream, maybe not as much as the other kids, but she did love watching them play.
Lucy had no fear whatsoever. You may think it odd that Baylee is in a life jacket and the little girls aren't, but there was a rope swing, and it got pretty deep over by it, Baylee had been over there, and Lucy and Mara were just by us in the shallow stream, loving the water.
This is on Belt Creek. The water was so cold, and this is after day two of no water in the house, so the cold creek was very welcome. I love these girls! What great friends.
This is Sam going off the rope swing. The older boys thought that this was the greatest spot on earth. Had our stomachs not been calling us to fill them, we would have stayed all night long. They all begged us to go back. We will definately have to make this a frequent stop.
These little guys are all about the same size. They had so much fun.
Abram, Nick, Max and Eli.
They all slept downstairs together, and would keep each other up talking and giggling. All Max had to do was say "Sweet" and Eli would bust up giggling so hard. I loved it.
Even though they are all potty trained, and never have accidents at night, it seemed each night one of them had wet the bed. They must have been so excited, or just plain exhausted at the end of each day to wake up and pee in the night.
What Goofy guys!
This is all of us! At Memorial Falls. There was a natural slide at the top of the upper water fall that the little kids all slid down, and loved. There was a nice, random man in business clothes who happened to be at the falls when we were all there that offered to take our picture. He thought we were having a family reunion. He was amazed to find out it was just three families!
It seemed wherever we went there was water to get in and boy o boy did the kids get in it everywhere. It was quite amazing how thoroughly entertained they were when by water. This is a little stream at the stop we had when we rode the boat to Gates of the Mountains.
I was so glad that Zak and Caleb and Sam got along so well. They slept in the RV every night, and loved being the older kids. We did have them tend one night while we went out to dinner. They did a good job, and the kids all loved playing with them. The also took there bike to the skate park and rode one night. It was fun to watch them go on the jumps and in the hole.
We had such a great week and were sad to see them go. Thanks for entertaining my kids for a whole week! This was definately the highlight of our summer.
