Vacation to Idaho

Idaho was amazing. We got to fly into Idaho Falls and stayed for 12 days. The weather was perfect! My sister, Kacey, came down from Northern Idaho while I was there and we all got to hang out. We had a couple of family dinners......super fun! The only people missing were Brady and Kacey's husband who couldn't get time off work to visit at my parents. Things we did:
-birthday party for Abby who turned 17 while we were there
-campfire in the backyard with smores, per Ammon and Zenock's request
-boys got to sleep in a tent outside 3 times
-2 sleepovers with their cousin Drake
-watching Grandpa operate a trackhoe in my sister's backyard
-ride the four wheeler almost every day
-community breakfast on the 23rd
-Pioneer Day parade also on the 23rd. The stake and ward floats were AMAZING!
-lots and lots of late night laughing with my sisters. One time we even woke my parents up....ooops!
-some good homestyle food from Ole's in Sugar City - you have to check it out if you live anywhere near there!
-boys got to push the buttons to dump out a load of logs on Grandpa's dump trailer. They though that was super cool!
-sewing up a baby quilt, embroiderng my Moby wrap, and making a crinckly tag toy for Gideon
-swimming and playing at Grandpa Ron's - Brady's dad
-"washing" the suburban while having a water fight at Grandpa Ron's. Each kid had a hose......it was very wet
-Gideon's second tooth appeared while we were there
-Gideon had regular baby food every day.....and he finally started liking it. He eats everything we give him now!
-Abby took them to the dollar store to pick out a toy....they LOVED that
-Gideon had his first experience tasting grass. He loved it. And he loves to sit and lay in the grass and play with it
-a trip to Idaho Falls to see the Rankins and the Martins. I miss them and thier super cute kids!
-a trip to Pocatello to see more friends - the Wades and the Hawkins. Dawna Hawkins was my best friend in high school and some how after she got married we lost touch.....and we finally got to see each other after almost 10 years. That was pretty amazing for me!
