Idaho Trip

We recently made our annual track down I-80 to the great state of Idaho. 30 hours to bond in the suburban :) Actually our kids rocked. They seriously are amazing travelers. They went 4-5 hrs between stops the whole way there and back. They slept great thru the night in their carseats and small spaces between the carseats. We were so happy. Nevertheless, we were thrilled to arrive on Mom and Dad's doorstep the next morning.

We had such a fun 2 weeks. We soooo love getting to spend time with the family and getting back to our mountains. Sigh. Oh, we so miss them.

I forgot my camera at home so the pics are limited to what Mariah took and what I'm stealing off my sisters-in-laws blogs :)

Trip highlights:

Kids: fishing, the great hike to the frozen lake, sleeping on the tramp with Phylicia, Jake, and Reagan at their house, grandma's bedtime stories, spa day with the girl cousins, sleepover at Uncle Russ's house, four wheelers (nonstop), playing in Uncle Lloyd's flooded yard, tubing on the 4th and sleeping in the tent with Hayden, Jake and Jackson

Tyson: spending time with his brothers on motorcycles and fishing, campfire songs with the family, testimony meeting, fishing day with Dad, Randy and the boys.

Me: watching the Bacholorette with my Lee sisters, girls night out getting pedicures and dinner with shopping on the side, watching my hubby and his brothers behave like little boys as they stripped off their shirts to see who could do the longest belly slide in Lloyd's flooded yard, playing Discombobulation, tubing on the 4th, and just spending time with my family.

We are so lucky to be part of such a great family. I so loved watching my little McCoy with his 17 yr old cousin Hayden. He adored him and Hayden took him everywhere. It melted my heart. I loved watching Wyatt and Jake. Two boys lost in a sea of girls :) They were glued to each other the whole time. Mariah and Lanae, Makayla and Raegan and Aliesha and then watching Coleman fight with London :) loved it all. I have the cutest nieces and nephews. I so loved playing with them and watching my kids with all of them.

It was hard to leave this year. We had some tears shed in the back of the suburban and pleads for us to please move back and then the kids got upset too :)

We had a great trip and can't wait to head west again next summer.
