Our Trip to IDAHO

We finally went back to Boise. (for our friends we didn't call...please don't hate us...we didn't call anyone!) I didn't really take pictures until the return trip...I am not really sure why...I think b/c not really huge stuff happened, so I didn't take pictures!

A's brother got married. That was the main reason for the visit. They are adorable. Funny story. So, I was incharge of the table decorations for the luncheon...I wanted to put their picture on one of the tables, so I went and had this picture and 2 others printed out and the lady made me sign a waiver saying that the pictures weren't professional!! Yeah...I am an amazing photographer...actually I just zoom, point and click...and my camera does the rest. I do love the camera...and the pic.

While at the temple and waiting for them to come out... the kids played and got into EVERYTHING! Not only did they move the temple spotlight around...they played with the water valve and THANKFULLY nothing happened...but I was waiting fo the water to turn on and ruin all our outfits, just in time for pictures!

This was Izzy's fav toy. This little train set. He would have you put all the train together and then push it around the tracks and then take it off and get mad they didn't get stay magnitized together. So he would bring them to you, in his cute little hands aand have you start over!

On the way home from Boise, we decided we would stop by Mount Rushmore, which had us driving through Yellowstone. We didn't realize that it would cost $25 to just drive through...so we decided to stay an extra day and check it out. Well, there was literally NO WHERE to camp in the whole of Yellowstone, so we drove to the other side of Yellowstone and camped at the 6th site we found b/c it was the first with a vacancy!!

This is our view!! I love the scenery! I did a 360* shot too...but that is a ton of pictures...so here is the one.

The view with Adam and the Boys (in the morning...still in their PJ's--the little ones;))

Here is Will and I at Old Faithful the second day in Yellowstone...Here is a funny story about this stop. One, as were were walking frm the parking lot the the geiser...it was erupting...Sucks to be us. We weren't patient enough to actually wait another 1 1/2 hour for the next spit...so we just walked around.

Another Story...Will, since being potty trained has decided that he can use the bathroom outdoors, whenever, where ever. So, here Adam and I were and Will was over playing and then I glance at Will and I see him pulling his pants down, right in front of everyone, by the main geiser...and went pee before we could get to him and stop him...We are working on this...He also tried this at Mnt. Rushmore...

Our Family pic at Old Faithful...The geiser is the smoke in the background.

The next few are just cool scenery in the park.

The next day we went to Devil's Tower and we just saw it from the outside because I was too cheap to pay $10 to go inside to see what we could see from outside the park! It is really cool...

MOUNT RUSHMORE

That same morning, we stopped by "Sturgis" because it was on the way (and I didn't take any pictures!! Why??? I don't know!) but we were driving through town and had been there fro close to 10 minutes when Will all of a sudden say, "Wow! Looks at the motercycle!"...We wondered what he was thinking about as we had passed 300+ Harley's???

I was amazed by Mount Rushmore. It was really amazing! I thought it would really not be a big deal...but Wow! it is really cool and worth paying the $10 to get up close to this one!!

These are some cute pics I snaped of Will. His eyes look really blue!

This is our family pic at Mt Rushmore.

This was a picture that I actually cropped with my camera and I thought it turned out cool...So I post it!

This is our last night camping and we got the BEST site, right next to the showers and THE SANDBOX!! Yes, my boys played with the trucks in the sand while Daddy and I set up! Best Day EVER! (THe picture is cloudy because of the humidity hitting the lens)

It is so great to be HOME...granted it has been a few weeks! But I love my BED!


We camped the whole way there (1 night) and the way back (3 nights) and then A and Will camped while in Idaho...and now when Will prays, beside praying for the food...he always adds "please bless us to go camping..." I think he got the bug!!
