Business is BOOMING at Hotel Starnes!

I love that people keep stopping by to see us over here in the EAST. Our friends the Dallings came by to say hi. We love seeing our Boise friends and were thrilled they haven't forgotten us yet!
We've had non stop family visitors the past 10 days and it has been WONDERFUL! I'm going through visitor withdrawl already. My brother stayed a couple of days after the 4th and we had a fun time with him at the zoo.
The Jones fam and the Pitcher fam came the day after my parents left and it has been a non stop party ever since!
We had birthday BBQ's, date nights, crazy ipod idol games, hot days boating up at the lake, and we even had time for a bike race. (That post for tomorrow)
Kels and Logan and Nate and I went to Famous Dave's for Logan's birthday. SOOOOO good! A new favorite for sure! We went to the BEST ice cream place for dessert. It's called Reed's Dairy. It has been ranked best in the nation and I can see why! AMAZING.

Ashley and Justin and all of the cousins came the next day. We went up to Ririe/Blacktail Lake and had a blast boating. The lake is so close to our house it is wonderful. It looks a little bit like Lucky Peak too which was fun. The kids loved tubing and we enjoyed some wakeboarding and kneeboarding. Kneeboarding....my brothers got a kick out of that. They wouldn't be caught dead kneeboarding.

We had a BBQ with all of the "extended" cousins as well. It was fun getting all of the kids together.
 We attempted to have the kids camp out on the trampoline one night but it only lasted until about 10pm. No one could quiet down...imagine that?

I absolutely LOVE the summer....it is zipping by so stinkin fast. I wish it would just SLOW down a little! :)
