Farwell Idaho Falls

We went hiking with Grandma, Aunt Stacy and her two kids. It was a lot of fun seeing such beautiful scenery. We had a wonderful time in Idaho Falls visiting family. The kids and I enjoyed seeing everyone. Thanks for the great time!

Bear World

We spent our Saturday going to Bear World; activities there also included a petting zoo and rides. Payton especially liked the Baby Bears after we went to the splash park and on the merry-go-round. That evening we roasted hot dogs and smores.

Our arrival to Idaho Falls

We arrived in Idaho Falls on Friday and spent the day with Grandparents, Aunt Stacy and Cousins. The kids had a great time playing outside and enjoying the nice weather. It’s been so nice to have a break from the Texas heat.

Day 2 of our vacation!

We spent the evening at a fun little place we call Narnia. The kids enjoyed roasting hot dogs and smores and swinging on the swings. I can’t believe how different the weather is here; the evenings feel wonderful. So far our vacation has been so much fun.

The start of our summer trip!

We are so excited to finally start our vacation! After a crazy day of traveling with two kids by myself we finally arrived in Utah. Our plans for the trip are to head to Idaho Falls to visit Chad’s parents then head to West Yellowstone where my Dad has rented a cabin for the week; his theme for this summer is The Wild Wild West after that we will then head to our cabin in Bear Lake. We are really excited to spend time with family.

I was so happy that Payton fell asleep the last 45 minutes of our plane ride. That kid wore me out!

On the way home we met up with my two brothers and sister-in-law for dinner at Red Robin.

Payton was thrilled to get to his Grandparents home. First thing he said was "Grandpa show me how big your Garden is getting." Payton helped Grandpa pick and eat peas.

4th of July Fun!

I had to work the morning of the 4th but was glad to get off in the early afternoon to attend some festivities to celebrate the day. We celebrated our afternoon at The Bedford Boys Ranch with some friends. It was a great place to spend the day. The kids had a blast making crafts, playing on the playground, seeing the car show, eating yummy snow cones and yummy food and listening to great music; Payton especially enjoyed dancing to the music on top of the cooler with Leslie and is quite the dancer. The fireworks were absolutely fantastic and definitely the best that I have ever seen. It was great to have friends to spend the day with since we don’t have family around. What a fun memorable 4th!
