It was time for the Draper Family Vacation - 2008. This year was the Bateman's turn and they chose Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. We had a great time this year including fishing, rope swinging, game playing, swimming, river rafting, Rock Band jamming, exploring, dodgeballing, indoor soccer playing, basketballing, golfing, and country enjoying. We all stayed at the old Schoolhouse Inn. It was totally haunted, but it had a gym so we didn't care about Lizzie the ghost.Here's lots of pictures of the 4 day fun-filled event. Here is some of the group fishing. I don't know how anybody managed to catch fish with all the "help", but there were some fish caught.
At the fishing pond was a rope swing. I guess if the water is a little higher you can swing into the pond, but we just swung back to the bank. This was FUN! Can you identify everyone? There's Clayton, Kenzie, Jessie, Em, Ang, Lexi, Kenzie and Jessie again, and Ben.
Ice cream collage. Lots of cute kids. :)
Describing the pictures in the collage below: 1. Check out baby Laynee totally hiding in the corner of the gym during some game that included balls flying everywhere. 2. Ah - Sade and me. 3. Cousin bath. 4. Thanks for bringing Rock Band Josh. Although Heath kept hogging the video game TV with Super Mario something. 5. My morning walk scenery. 6. Baby dodgeball. 7. Pause indoor soccer for a picture of Em and Jessie. Most of us came away with bruised shins after indoor soccer. 8. Mason with a little "Schoolhouse Rock". 9. We're just glad it's not green. 10. Sadie cheesing and hoping someday she can be an expert on the drums like Uncle Josh. 11. More morning walk scenery. 12. Indoor soccer - totally my favorite part of the vacation. 13. Cutie patutie Sadie. 14. These 3 were total trouble. 15. Cam and Kelcie. 16. A D self portrait. I'm not sure why it was taken in the kitchen, and not outside in the beautiful country.
If you're wondering what these guys are looking at, it's a headless grasshopper. Thanks Uncle Brian.
Friday we tubed down the river. Again, lots of fun. The young group - Jessie, Kenzie, Mason, and Taylor.
The old group:
Of course we went swimming at the Lava pool. Quite a few went back to the hot pots that night, but I have no pictures of that. If you think Michael Phelps is an amazing swimmer, you should see Lexi and Kelcie. I'm thinking Olympics 2020.
To end I'm including a picture of Taylor with his Napolean Dynamite look. It's awesome in person.

Great pictures, thanks for sharing.
It looks like you had a GREAT time!
Thanks for the update on the Draper clan.
That looks like SO much fun. I do have a few questions: Is Mason hypnotized in the first group shot? You didn't mention having a hypnotist come. Does anyone have confirmation that Jaxon didn't eat any worms? He really looks like he enjoys them. And lastly, how do you do the collage thingy? Very cool. Teach us.
Fun trip!! The group photo is great.
