Our Trip to Idaho

We went to Idaho to visit my sweet friend Christy and her family last week.
We met when she came to my house a couple years ago to buy some furniture I had listed online. She had just moved to the area, and we had an instant connection. We have kids that are the same age so we had a lot of fun hanging out. We had fun getting up in the wee hours of the morning to go to the gym before our husbands went to work.
Soon after she moved here, she had to move to Alaska because of her husbands job, and I was so sad to see her go. After about a year in Alaska, they ended up moving much closer.......to Idaho. I knew I needed to make the drive to see her since Idaho is much closer than Alaska!

I caught Hailey in Becca's room combing her hair and calmly singing her a song.........so cute!


The first day we got there in the afternoon, so we let the kids play at her house for awhile. Then we headed to Sonic to get some burgers and then to my hotel to swim in the pool.
Carter and Hailey had fun that evening buying treats from the candy machine and watching a movie in our hotel room.

The next day we headed to a lake by their house. This lake was super nice. It had grass planted just above the water and sand which was nice, so you can lay your towels out without them getting covered in sand. It also had restrooms, tables, toys, and a floating dock with a slide!

Carter swam out to the dock, but he didn't dare to go down the slide. Joe and Hyrum were brave enough to go down though! The water was FREEZING, so they were all Chattering.

Hyrum and Carter making Joe push the dock closer to the slide. They are slave drivers I tell you!

After this shot she freaked out a bit because her hands were dirty. I can't blame her, I don't like to be dirty either! We're not play on the beach kind of girls :)

My beautiful friend Christy. I'm sure she will be thrilled that I posted her as she is eating! This will teach her to run from the camera :) Love ya Christy!

The girls thought Joe's back(Christy's husband) would be a fun little ride, and literally played on it for like 30 minutes! Jumping on then falling off like he was some sort of roller coaster. Good thing he is a good sport!

Beautiful Becca

The last day Christy met us at Snake River Falls. We fed the ducks and walked around for a bit.

I have realized that this is the only way to get Hailey to eat! Everytime I take her to feed the ducks she probably eats more bread than she gives to the ducks. Seriously, I can't get her to eat bread at home! I also discovered the other day when we went to feed some horses by our house, the same thing. We packed some carrots and apples, and on the way there she munched on both quite vigorously. I guess we need to feed animals more often so I know that she getting the foods she needs :)

Who other than Idaho has a Potato Bench? Pretty exciting stuff!

After the Falls we headed to Christy's for lunch and then headed back home. Thanks Christy and Joe for letting us crash in on you for a few days, we had tons of fun!
