Reid got to go fishing in the raft with the big guys and he caught two of the three fish. Not too shabby!

I have so many things to post about but I feel like I need to catch up with our camping trip first. Every year we go to Mackay Idaho for our Neilson reunion, there is a long history there starting with my great grandpa. We camp in the same campground every year and it's right on the Big Lost River, which our family calls the "Blessed River." It is so wonderful to pull into Mackay and then the camp site, the smells, the scenery, the river, it all brings a flood of memories and emotions. We always have a wonderful time camping, floating the river, fishing, and just enjoying the beauties around us. So enjoy the many pictures that I have to share!
