Madagascar 2 movie afternoon. Such a great show.

This is one of my favorite traditions on my side of the family. We have so much fun in McCall every presidents weekend in February. This year we stayed for the first time in Amy's Dad's cabin, that he just added on to. It was great, there was tons of space, and the streets were perfect for hookie-bobbing. We definatly did some crazy driving with that 4-wheeler, and everyone fell off a few times. We went swimming, we ate so much great food, the boys played Catan every night till the wee hours. We played lots of Wii, and all the kids played really well, (almost all of the time) I look forward to this weekend away with my family all year long, and it just gets better every year. Next year we will have one more new addition, Kip and Amy will have their baby girl there, I am excited for that. I am blessed to have such a fun, loving, amazing family, and I could not ask for a better one! I am glad that Chad loves them too, and he acts like he has been in the family forever now. He will talk to my Dad for hours about General Custer (my dad's favorite) now that is love!!
