Day 4
If you’re ever going anywhere ever, see if you can stay with my uncle jack and aunt janet. They deserve an award for best hosts of all time. We started our day off with huckleberry pancakes. Here’s the the thing about people in idaho: they’re crazy about huckleberries. Now don’t get me wrong, i find these berries to be quite delicious myself, but there was a lot of conversation about the time and effort spent obtaining and maintaining levels of them (measured in GALLONS). But the point is, the pancakes were great.
We left shortly after for the lake with the ‘party barge’ janet and jack borrowed from friends. My cousin steve, whom i had not seen in like 15 years, joined us and was very excited to be a part of our day out on the water.
My cousin Levi and his wife Rainey and two adorable daughters Skye and Shea met us at the lake. The whole day was beautiful, although janet was convinced that it was ruined because it wasn’t sunny. The best/most hilarious part of our boating excursion was towards the beginning when jack hit a series of waves at break-neck speed, splashing most of the water in the lake into the front of the boat and drenching jeff, steve, levi and i. Good times. Also very cold times.
The boat adventure also included a delicious barbecued lunch, a tour of all the places steve has jumped off and hurt himself, a view of some beautiful lake-front houses, and some great conversation.
After we got back Levi and his crew came to janet and jack’s for more food, hot-tubbing, drinking, and continued discussion of huckleberries, which culminated in an agreement that janet would make a huckleberry pie (which she had never done before, a major sacrifice since it calls for so many of their precious berries), though by the time the pie was finished the girls weretoo tired and it was agreed that they would come back in the morning for more huckleberry breakfast items and pie. Too funny.
