Idaho (While Chris was Still There)

Besides my family reunion, which took place the later half of the first week we were there, we did do other things and hang out with family. Below is mainly pictures...

Idaho

While in Idaho we made five-threes ice cream... Practiced golfing...
Got bored of golf and "rode a horse"... Went swimming in cool zebra slide... Watched swimming from the sidelines...

Got brave and tried the pool out and...

Played football and tackle with cool aunt and uncle...

Held and fed cats daily...

Rode around the yard of a cousin on 4 wheeler VERY slowly...

Played golf on the real thing (only suppose to go for the first 9 holes)...

But as dad drove away little boy called, "I've got to catch up with my dad!" and ran after crying. Little boy finished all 18 holes...

Played games in the sprinklers with cool uncle...

Zonked out after full day of fun while watching a movie, 5-10PM. Grandparents and aunts and uncles got to watch wide awake child because mom and dad left to attend a wedding the next day. Thanks!!! Hard working dad worked long hours almost everyday of vacation. Little boy below was his biggest fan often escaping to the office pressing his face against the glass door saying, "Daddy!" One week was not long enough for any of us. Jared was extremely upset the morning we left when he asked to go to his cousins house and was told we were going back to Chicago. Since then he has asked many mornings if we can go to his grandma's house or cousins. Spencer also walks around saying "mama" for grandma and has found the Meservy Christmas card from last year and keeps pointing to Jordan and Baillie while saying their names. We really do miss you guys and can't wait till we see you again!!!
