Summers in McCall



Summers in McCall










Our family loves family reunions in McCall, Idaho. Just being together in such a beautiful setting is wonderful for us all.








Tin-foiled dinners and marshmellows by the fire!










Making sandcastles by the lake in the sand. Best day ever!! Thanks Grandpa for showing us the wonders of McCall!!







Silver Pig rafting trips!! Grandpa's tradition of taking us all down the river is the highlight of our trips to McCall. We have been on dangerous fast water trips, beautiful calm outings, and times when we have had to carry our canoes down the river. Thanks, Dad, for the memories!!







The Silver Pig is always the highlight of our trips to McCall! Canoes, kayaks, muddy banks, swift currents, occasional sunburn, me and Kevin always LOVED these trips! Thanks for the special treat dad!







Julie's family













Shelly's Family












Rebecca and Shelly













Sheri's Family









Five (or more) in the bed and the little one said,
"Roll over!"








Ahh, the hot Springs. Dad got us really out into nature with a dip in the Burgdorf Hot Springs right out of the mountain. We especially enjoyed soaking in the porcelain bathtub surrounded by wildflowers and changing in the dressing room where you could peak out through the cracks in the wall to see what other wildlife may be lurking around!











The Year of the Cow Hats
Look at the cow hats at this family reunion. Dad got them for all of us and we wore them all over town!! MOOOOOO!!






Terry caught Shelly coming out in the background then Shelly caught Terry taking the picture! We were all there for the shot or two shots!








The pool! Totally fun and refreshing for everyone!!! We love Aspen pools!

The Johnson Clan are all FISH! It seems that from the very beginning starting with the pool at the Racquet and Swim Club and ending at every family vacation we have ever been on, the central point of the trip has somehow been water! Dad started us early holding us on the pool and slowly beginning to spin in a circle, "Motorboat, Motorboat, go so slow." He would speed up as we would get excited with anticipation, "Motorboat, Motorboat, go so fast." Finally he would spin wildly around as we would squeal, "Motorboat, Motorboat, step on the gas!"






Grandpa & Grandma lounge by the pool holding the little ones. What a beautiful day.











By the lake enjoying the sun and sand together.




McCall in the summer is a favorite reunion spot thanks to Grandpa who started bringing all of us up there to enjoy the beautiful mountains, lakes, tennis courts, etc. many, many years ago. We all love McCall!!!
