Camping in Palisades Idaho

Palisades Idaho has been a camping destination for my family for years. It's beautiful scenery, big lake and convenient camp sites have suited us well growing up. I have many memories there and have been excited share this place with Josh. For our Miller family reunion this year, we decided this would be the perfect place to all get together. Angie and Don brought the camper they bought from our dad a while back and my mom and dad brought their spacious new camper so we could comfortably fit the whole family, grand kids and all. It was a little colder than we thought it would be but despite the rain and the chilly weather, we had a blast! 

This was the perfect time to celebrate Father's Day. Not only because we could my dad for getting all of the camping stuff together but because my dad loves being outdoors so the cards and gifts were the icing on top of an ideal get away. 

Palisades is so beautiful! Josh is great at taking pictures was able to captures some of the scenery around us. We went boating even though the weather was not super warm. After riding in the boat for about 2 minutes I was freezing! Most of the family went to the beach to lay out in the sun while the kids played in the mud and got filthy! A few others (dad, Josh, Dane, Brock and Camille) went for another ride in the boat.

I was surprised to find out that Dane and Josh actually got in the water to ski!! Josh was so cold that his toes were white after getting out of the water! Crazy boys.

Meanwhile I had fun watching the kids get covered from head to toe with thick, sticky mud. Lydia got the messiest for sure!

We went on a beautiful for-wheeler ride where we saw lots of beautiful scenery and got really dusty!

After all was said and done we had to end the trip with some square ice cream.
