Idaho Trip Recap

Planes! Getting to watch airplanes made the airport really exciting.

  Both kids were pretty angelic travelers.  I was surprised (and VERY grateful) when both fell asleep

Visiting my grandparents in Utah.  Here Ava is in her great-great-great grandmother's chair.  My grandparent's house is full of wonderful heirlooms with great stories.

My girls with my grandparents (their great-grandparents).  Ava has met them a few times, but this was the first time they got to meet Lily.  My grandparents are just wonderful and getting to see them was an absolute delight for me.

 
A rather unique playground in Rigby, Idaho.  Ryan was off in Twin Falls interviewing and my dad was hunting, so the girls and I took a trip up to Rigby with my mom to so she could pick some stuff up from the vet for the 13 year old family dog. Sadly, he ended up having to be put down a couple days after we left :(  But we had a lot of fun at the playground.

  Cooking with grandma!  I think we all agree the one of the best parts about visiting my family is the delicious food!  Pretty much everything is home grown and cooked from scratch and incredibly delicious.  I'm kind of a food snob and I blame this on my upbringing.

A trip to Rexburg to see my sister, Heather, on her birthday!  We treated her to Sammy's and their famous pie shakes.  They were delicious!

No trip is complete without a stop at the bowling alley!  This was Ava's first time to participate though. Usually I find bowling shoes ugly, but in her size they were super adorable. She really had a good time.

Our scores and the game winner! It is ALWAYS my mom.  She is unbeatable!  I did, however, break 100 and beat Ryan, so I felt pretty good about my score too.

 Playing with grandma at the playground:

Painting with Grandma.  My mom is a great artist, particularly with watercolor and oil, and is seems Ava has gotten some of that talent and she loved having a little lesson with grandma. 

Cousins! One of the most exciting parts of our trip was meeting the newest member of the Longmore clan (Evelyn) and introducing Lily to everyone.  These two are about 10 weeks apart and I'm sure they'll be best friends.

Our anniversary dinner.  Our trip home ended up landing on 6th our anniversary so we spent the day eating pretzels in the airport with these two cuties, but we didn't mind.  When we got home, Ryan surprised me with a beautiful bouquet roses and tickets to see the broadway production of Beauty and the Beast.
