Another Summer's Day

Continuing on.... Next stop Samaria, ID. The kids and I went to see my BFF's lol Heidi and Celeste and their kids. Heidi has 3 of her own. Shianna 11?, Braden 5 and Boston almost 2? (I'm bad at ages and birthdates). Celeste also has 3 kids Ty 5, Rylee 3 and Kody 1.

We were camping at Heidi's parents place aka "The Willows" it was so much fun. They have a little pond that only came up past Gracie's knees so we didn't have to worry too much about the kids playing in it. The kids had fun playing in the Canoe, and the rope swings they had. There was also a place down in the Willows my kids called the forest. (how deprived are they?) lol

It was so much fun seeing all of their kids, and how big they are getting, well the getting big part wasn't fun I just wish kids would stop growing sometimes. It makes us all feel old. ;)

Fun catching up on what our families are involved in and how busy life has been. I felt bad though, it was towards the end of our trip and I was getting a little grouchy with my kids so I probably wasn't the best company for my friends. I promised them next time I will see them first. :) So Sorry Heidi and Celeste for being a grump. I'm still looking for Wacky Six though. :) That was a fun game.

I had a lot of fun taking pictures of the kids in such a nice setting. I wish we had places like this closer to us. We probably do, I just haven't found them yet.

The kids had fun with sparklers on one of our nights there.



























































All three of us were prego at the same time and look what happened. ;) What cute kids!!



















Ty & Maddie I finally got him to have a normal smile. lol



















Miss Rylee and Cole are a month apart? (I really need to get birth dates from you all, even though I've asked a million times, ugh)



















Ty was loving this bike, and getting stuck under everyone's chairs.

























The following are some of my favorite photo's. My friend Celeste took pictures of all the kids and they are on her blog. I failed to have her take some with my camera. (can I get copies?) ;) I wish I would have taken a picture of little miss Boston she was hilarious she was a little scavenger getting into everyone's drink and food and constantly on a table. She was so funny and cute though you couldn't get mad at her. :)

This was a little park just up the road by the "Blue Goose" store where the kids could get penny candy. They had fun doing that.






































































































































After our visit with them we headed to Utah to pick up Sheridan from the airport and to see Uncle Mark, Aunt Carole and their youngest daughter Jessica. Sheridan's parents and his youngest sister Siarra drove down from Wyoming to see us off one last time. We had a lot of fun with them too. I wonder if Carole has posted the funny pictures of us being crazy yet on her blog??? We had a nice dinner with all of them plus Sheridan's Grandma and Grandpa Nicholas, Uncle Boyd and Aunt Ellen, Aunt Nancy and her Daughter Melissa and her husband Chris and their 3 1/2 boys. Baby on the way, who has been born since. Hope I didn't miss anyone. hmmm. Forgive me if I did.

Then it was finally time to head home. Hallejuh!!! Not that we didn't enjoy every minute, but
4 1/2 weeks is a long time!!!

So this was our final shot and a great example of how we all looked on the way home. (with the exception of the driver, my dear husband)



















LOL

Let's just say we are happy to be home but miss family and our friends far away terribly!!!!!!!!!!

School starts on one week from tomorrow!!!! We can't wait!!!

Love you and and to those friends we were unable to see this trip we hope to see you next time and so sorry we couldn't make it. Let's just say fuel drained our budget. UGH!!
