quick trip

July 27th-29th while Nate went on another business trip, this time to Arizona and Missouri (yes, I know they aren't close to each other.... two words.... air travel) I packed up the car and took the kids to Rexburg to visit my sister and her family. My kids have been begging all summer to go to Idaho. Idaho to them is like what a tropical island is to me. It is the most exciting place on the planet to them!! I actually really like Idaho too, so don't think I'm a hater. Anyway, we stayed busy, but didn't do tons of stuff. We were only there a couple of days, but had a really fun time!

Mesa Falls
All the kiddos. (Never mind Haley's dirty shirt and stylish hair.... it was the day we arrived after a 4 hour car ride. The kids did surpising well too. Only one bathroom stop and minimal fighting.... the ride back to Utah... that's a different story!)

Swimming

So I must explain that I am only displaying these pictures of me to prove that I SHOULD NOT EVER go swimming.... I pull the most horrendous faces. Add that to me in a swimming suit.... Ugh! Sorry to all those who witnessed me that day. The kids had soooo much fun though. And that's all that really matters. :)

Motor Bikes
Lucky for Rachel (and Kaden) Uncle Tony was nice enough to get out the motor bikes and let them go for a spin. I'm not sure how much she bugged him and begged him to get them out, but whatever she did it worked! They did really well for their first time and would have ridden them for hours if I would have let them. Kaden only wrecked a couple times and I'm not sure if Rachel ever did. No one got hurt so it was a success.

And then there's Haley, who I could not keep off the counter. She probably ate a pound of strawberries all by herself!

Thank you Tony, Marci, Abbey, Savanna, Ryan, Jamison and Chandler!
