The Stevenson Ohana

August 14, 2024: During our time in Idaho, we went out and flew with my brother Caden! It was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Idaho.  It's been fun to hear about and watch him get his pilot license and see all the pictures of him flying over the country from our family group text over the past year or so. . . it was neat to actually go up and experience it all with him. So cool!! Riley was ready to switch careers by the end of the flight. We left early before the kids were up and spent the morning flying over my hometown and bogus basin (the ski resort) and landing in the littlest podunk airport in Smith's Prairie and switching places.

I was impressed seeing Caden in this setting and how professional and smart he is! I was more nervous that I expected but would do it again in a heartbeat. 

in his happy place

Smith's Prairie Airport, bathroom was a little outhouse haha

This was one of the days that I want to remember forever, and ever. We did an early morning kayak session through the canals of Amsterdam. Before the kids woke up I pumped and prepped our kayaks and then we all woke up an jumped into the kayak and were outside before the world woke it. We can just start from our house steps and got into the kayaks from our canal and took off to central. It was conditions: no wind, perfect lighting, and just so peaceful with nobody on the water. It was surreal having the canals all to ourselves. We kept saying, "wow, we live here!" Just a special day in June for the books.
