Jenks Family Reunion

Thursday, we went off to Challis Hot Springs, ID http://www.challishotsprings.com/ for a family reunion. We camped for 3 days & 2 nights. JaCoby didn't quit running around till it was time to go. I even went tubing down the Salmon River dangerously without a life jacket. About 1/3 of the way down my tube was punctured by a tree branch that the current shoved me into, I was able to climb out of the river, but I was stranded on an island. The other two people that were tubing with me saw what had happened and stopped on the other side of
the river. I had no choice, but to swim across to them. I successfully made it, but about 30 feet farther down than I had planned because the current took me. Thank goodness for those swimming lessons I took about 23 years ago.

Getting to see family was great especially since these only happen every other year. I especially loved camping with my family of Tennille & JaCoby. We don't seem to do that often enough.

I will try to remember the names of all in the photos below. Forgive me, if I forget a few.



A great family pic especially of JaCoby with that tired look.


The following few pics were of a naturally heated pool, heated from the hot springs. They even have to pump cold water in to make it a bit cooler.

Tennille and my cousin Kya ( I think) JaCoby floating on his back



JaCoby about to jump in and look Tennille even grew LOL. Anybody ready for some chicken fights??



JaCoby & I had quite a bit of fun with this noodle.

Sam, Chellayne & Abigalye relaxing and enjoying the day
Believe it or not this was the beginnings of human battleship, it was a lot of fun. Yes I did say battleship. Don't laugh till you try it, you just might like it.

This is a photo of 2 of my cousins named Rochelle & Tara. Now you can see where JaCoby gets his red hair.



About the only bad thing that came out of this whole ordeal is that I lost my cell phone on the way up to Idaho. So somewhere in Idaho somebody is enjoying a recently used cell phone. Life goes on!!! LOL
