Parkinson family campout

Chris's family had their annual reunion at Hawkins Reservoir. Its about 15 miles west of Downey, Idaho. We had a great time, and the girls want to go back.

The reservoir was across the street from the campground. It must not have been too cold, because they loved it.


Playing Disney Yahtzee with the cousins.



How Kian camps.

Building a pile of really big rocks.

This was our campsite. There were 7 or 8 campsites and we used up most of them. Those picnic shelters were the only shade, so we kept cool as well as we could.

Michelle and Ray helped us build and launch paper rockets. It was fun, and Kian's rocket flew the farthest!

We spent most of Saturday at Downata Hot Springs. It was such a hot day that the water felt great.


Kate went down this super tall water slide all by herself! There are two waterslides that take off from the same point. One goes straight down and the other curves. She went on the curvy one.




This was the meadow behind the horseshoe pit.

Who wouldn't love camping with a tiger-print double kid-size camp chair?
