Fun exploring at Grandma and Grandpa after a long day of traveling.

 

Idaho Trip - Welcome Sign

Have you ever been excited to take a picture, and it just didn't work out the way you wanted?  I promise we were all excited to get to Idaho, but taking a "quick stop" with a large family and hoping for a perfect picture, may not have been the most realistic expectation. 

Idaho Trip - Second Lunch

We flew into Salt Lake, and the first stop was to visit Katie in the University of Utah hospital.  She gave a half-smile for our rendition of "Mother Soup Surprise".  Jeremy was quite the favorite outside playing the tag/dog pile game.  For second lunch we had walking tacos at the park.

Idaho Trip - Plane Ride

On July 30 the long - awaited day finally came.  The kids got their first airplane ride, and were on their way to Idaho for the first time in eight years, or the first time ever.  Thankfully things went pretty smoothly.  No problems parking the car or getting checked in.  We rotated who got to sit near the window for the flight.  Our first lunch was humus, bread and vegetables.

July Pastimes

Some plants did better than others, but we are actually getting a yield this year from our garden! 


 
 
 
 

Splash Pad

 

The kids said that the swimming pool is more fun, but they still enjoyed their time at the splash pad and park.

 

 

 

 

Independence Day

For the 4th of July, we started off the morning with a bike ride to the church, enjoyed a pancake breakfast, and ended up the evening watching fireworks from the Wilson bridge.  It's great to live in the nation's capitol to celebrate this time of year.  And the weather was even nice!
