Vacation

We had a great time on vacation. We loaded into Dad's pickup so the three in the back were within arms reach and Parker between us in the front and set out to reach our destination 10 hours away. The drive down was good. We stopped in Boise at the Outlet Mall :) and then I drove from there to Idaho Falls so Brian could do paperwork on the laptop. The kiddos were all REALLY great. We spent Thursday and Friday in Idaho Falls. We spent most of our time in the hotel pool with cousins Connor and Amber :) and Grandma Dixie was there to cheer everyone on. We also met a friend of mine at the zoo. We got to watch them feed the penguins, the kiddos loved the swans "look it's Swan Lake!" and the monkeys came right up to the glass!
Saturday morning we made our way to Twin Falls to see the rest of my family. We spent Friday afternoon at my Grandma and Papa's, which it is safe to say the place the kids had the best time, really! Why? Because they played in the dirt and cried when it was time to go to the FUN place! We met my mom, 3 sisters, and brother, niece, and nephews at a place called Hop 2 It, a warehouse full of bouncy houses! The kids loved it! Even Parker had fun in the ball pit!
We spent the night at my Grandma and Papa's and then hit the road the next morning. The drive home wasn't as fun :( but we were all ready to sleep in our own beds!
