WOW! What a great weekend we had! It was very funfilled and entertaining! It all started by waking up on the 4th of July and heading over to the Blackfoot Airport to meet up with one of our really good friends, Josh Miles, who was flying in from Rexburg. He was so kind to take Scott and I for a plane ride. I had never been in a little plane before, in fact, I have only flown twice in my life. It was a thrill! We went up and flew over our house and found a couple other ones and then he did a trick called the "belly jiggler". It was so crazy. The only thing I can compare the feeling to is the "Rocket" at Lagoon. You are up in the air and somehow you get the plane to feel like it just shuts off and then you just start free falling. It was so fun! Thanks so much Josh! I had a blast!
When I landed, Austin wanted to sit in the plane for a moment. We let him know what it feel like to sit in a plane.
Austin thought it was the coolest thing!
Then it was Scott's turn! He flew back to Rexburg with Josh and had a great time. It was nice for them to chat and have some time together before Josh left for dental school. Thank you so much, Josh! That was incredible! Good Luck in school! We will miss you guys!
Later that day we had an extended Kesler family reunion at my Grandpa's house. It was a good time. We played in the backyard and visited with everyone trying to catch up on eachother's lives. Austin and the rest of the kids (and some adults) had a great time on the slip-n-slide.
It took Austin a while to get used to the slide, so he would just run down it for awhile!
Grandpa Kesler finally got him to slide down on his tummy! Great job Dad!
Bostin Kesler (My nephew) and Will Jackson (my cousin's little boy) a.k.a. the underwear boys (they were sliding just in their underwear) were loving the slip-n-slide especially with the ski rope.
Later that night, the fireworks got pulled out and the kids were loving the sparklers.
Right after this sparkler went out, Austin grabbed the part that had been on fire. He was hurting for a little while, but got over it pretty fast and wanted another one.
It was great to be among so much family because Koen was passed around like crazy.
Watching the Blackfoot firework show. Can you tell that Koen and I are so tired?
Saturday we went with my family to Jensen's Grove (the local lake) and had a great time being in the sun, playing in the water, and visiting. Scott had his first ski run of the year and did a great job.
He did awesome and it was really fun to watch him!

And this is Addison (my niece). She was so funny! We gave her this apple and she was going to town on it. Great face Jordan! We had a great weekend! Thanks Scott and everyone else for such a great weekend!

Sounds like you guys had a ball! I can't believe you liked that airplane free fall - I almost die when they do that. You have great pictures - no need for that new camera (can I have it??) Happy Birthday!
P.S. Thanks for doggin' out Sat. - Skiing wins over me? Come on!
You are quick, girl. I haven't even loaded my pictures of this weekend onto my computer. I had so much fun holding Koen. Apparently so did Natalie. Your kids are so cute. I really enjoyed visiting with everyone. So how about those scavenger hunt videos? Aren't you going to post those? Just kidding.
It sounds like fun! Hey, I found your blog through Brandy's. It's been fun to catch up with people on these things. Hey, that's great that the airport in Blackfoot actually gets used on occasion.
The Kessler's sure know how to have fun-glad you all had a great time-we loved seeing you this weekend! The boys are really wanting to come visit us!! See you soon!
Looks like you had a fun filled weekend, although the plane ride would have scared me to death. Your pretty brave!

That is so awesome you got to ride in a plane! You can tell Austin thought that was pretty cool. I am very jealous that you guys went waterskiing! Looks like lots of fun. We are glad you guys had a great weekend.
Thanks for a fun day guys. The ride was as much for me as it was for you. It was great to see you one last time, and it looks like you had a awesome 4th with the water slide fireworks and then water skiing too. We are finally in Richmond, and we are just getting ready to leave the hotel and get the keys to our place.
Thanks you guys for everything. I don't know of two people who are better examples than you. Good luck with everything and we'll see you at Christmas!!
That slide looks like a lot of fun! I think I might need to get me one of those! HAHAHAHA!!!!

Hey guys. I like your blog. It looks like you had a nice 4th. I couldn't think of any better way to spend it than in an Airplane. We hope you guys are doing well. We still need to get together for our camping trip sometime. Take Care.
