Idaho Vacation

In July we went to Idaho for a couple weeks. Mike had to work and was only able to come for a weekend so I was a single mom most the trip which was difficult especially with Olivia not letting anyone hold her the first week. We stayed at my parents house and there were a lot of fun things to do for the kids.  They had such a great time swimming, boating, playing with cousins, working in the garden, eating yummy food, having girls day and boys day, going to the aquarium, going to a parade,  and shooting bow and arrows.  

 The kids swam almost every day and Grandpa really helped Michael and Abby to improve their swimming skills!

 Olivia and Scarlett are 6 months apart in age but Olivia out weighs her. It was fun to see them together and funny that we showed up with the same swimsuits.

Olivia had a hard time letting me out of her sight the entire trip. She was so nervous with all the new faces. My brother Nathan was getting them to laugh here but Olivia was not having it but by the end of our stay she ended up really loving Nathan.

My kids loved peeling all the garlic from my parents garden and spent a lot of time doing it rather than swimming.

 My kids really love my mom's bathtub especially when they get bubbles! I let them all get in together on their last night and added a lots of bubbles. It was a hit.  

Eagle fun day parade!
