What's your vector Victor?

VICTOR, IDAHO:
The Johnson clan spent Thursday through Sunday at a cabin near Victor, Idaho. It was a blast. We went fishing, visited Mesa falls, hiked through Teton National Park and just hung out playing games, watching movies and eating junk food.

THE CABIN:


Playin some baseball.

Edison is so good at baseball he plays with his mitt on the wrong hand.
Clarissa practicing her career as a horse whisperer.
Jackson getting in his morning Tai-Chi routine.


Just hangin out.

MESA FALLS:
There are two rather large waterfalls here and they are both stunning. Edison was a little scared and so was my dad.
Jackson "too-skinny-for-a-butt" Johnson had trouble keeping his pants up.



Edison was trying to give Amanda a wet-willie during the whole drive back from the waterfalls. But everytime Amanda overpowered him (barely) and his wet finger ended up in his own ear.

FISHING:
We spent a lot of time fishing. Jackson caught the first fish. In total we probably caught 12 to 14 fish. We only kept 3 of them, the rest were released.
All fish were caught using Barbie fishing poles.





Clarissa letting her anger be known. She still hadn't caught a fish yet and everyone else had caught 3 or 4 fish.
But she did finally catch one. Then she proceeded to complain that it wasn't big enough.





PLAYING GAMES AND WATCHING MOVIES:
We played a lot of card games. You can see from this picture that Amanda was clearly cheating the whole time.



TETON NATIONAL PARK:
We went on two small hikes in the Tetons, one around Jenny Lake and the other around the Ox-bow bend area of the Snake River. It was completely overcast, a little cold and rained off and on but the fall leaves were gorgeous, some were almost neon in color they were so vivid.







While hiking near the Snake River we ran into this huge bull moose.


MY PRECIOUS, EAGLE MAN AND DIRTY MULLET MAN:
Jackson found a mood ring at the cabin and he carried it around the whole weekend calling it "his precious". He would misplace it and walk around asking everyone if they had seen "his precious" until he found it again.
My mom brought Edison some bird feathers she found in the Tetons and "EAGLE MAN" was born. Eagle Man was Eddie's superhero alter-ego for the weekend. He told me that Eagle Man spent his time fighting his enemy "EVIL DAD". Eagle Man also yells "Eagle man is out of his cage" before attacking anyone.
Not to be confined to only one super hero personna Edison also tried on this dingy old hat with a toupee pinned to the back and he became "DIRTY MULLET MAN", which he pronounced "Dirty Mollo Man".
Here's an exclusive shot of "Dirty Mullet Man" fighting "The Cheating Girl".

It was a really fun weekend. Especially since I don't see my family as often now that we live in Logan (I know it's not that far, but it seems like it).
