Idaho Trip

We were able to spend time with Aaron family with summer.  Can't believe it has been a year since we were here last.  A good majority of these pictures are via Aaron's sisters.  What one didn't get the other did, for this I am grateful!! So here it is in no particular order:)

We spent a day at Ross Park with the cousins. 

 As 
Some how the stars aligned and Ry's Bestest friend from Colorado happened to be traveling through town the same weekend that we were there.  So she got to spend the afternoon and night with us. Quite the pair!  



 Look at that smile!!  This kid LOVES the water!

yeah AAnd video games:/
Many hours perfecting the card house

I have searched and searched and sadly I can not find the pictures of  Rylie and Abby posing in Great Grandmas same shoes when they were toddlers:(  Now look at them all grown up and the shoes fit!
Priceless
A little work in Grandpa Norms Garden.  He cracks me up!  He is 90 something, out in his garden with a hoe and his oxygen strung from one end to the other and just as bossy as a toddler:)

A little baseball...in our pajamas!


Carol and Merial our segregate grandmas!  Aaron worked with Carol in Idaho Falls and we fell in love with them!  

Hadn't seen them in 3 years, so the reunion was sweet!

Bring on the four wheelers!




Another fabulous flash shot:)
We had a FANTABULOUS time!  While it is hard being so far away and such long time between visits, I LOVE that when we get together its just like we never left!

4th and 5th

On the 4th we spent the day at the pool followed by a bbq and a few fireworks of our own. One of our friends said that he would give $5 to who ever could do a back flip of the diving board.  Syd did it on her second try, she was the only one to do it at all!  I had a picture on my phone, unfortunately it was deleted:/
My friend came up with this cute little hat project for the kids.

Our town fireworks were actually on the 5th, which is one of our friends birthday. I let Rylie take charge of the sparklers, she had done well the night before.  Turns out its a good thing that the grass is green here!  A little guy had seen his dad light multiple sparklers at once the beach and decided it was a good idea.  But it freaked him out and he threw them on the ground.  Anybody elese know that you can not stomp out sparklers! Only water works!  I am pretty sure that if we were in Idaho the whole field would have been a blaz'n.  As it was no real harm done, thank heavens!

Aren't they just the cutest!
Kill'n a little time!)
NO ONE liked my massive flash..... and I would do it again!)


Great Day, Great Family, Great Friends!
