Hi from the land of Idaho

We just got back from a little mini-vacation to Idaho Falls and Rexburg. The reason behind the trip was that D's brother Richard was blessing their new little bundle of joy. We decided to make a trip out of it and stay for four days. We packed up the old durrango (to the hilt i might add) and off we went.
We spent thursday night getting aclimated to our tiny hotel room (six people one bathroom, with two teenage girls not the best idea) and the kids went swimming.
Friday we spent in Rexburg where the little bro lives and went bowling with his family and then the adults went out to dinner and to see the new mummy movie (it was okay, not as good as the first one. I hated the new Evie)
Saturday was fun. We spent the day at Rerie lake waterskiing, tubing and having fun in the sun as all of our sunburns can tell you. Boo decided to try waterskiing and actually got up on the skiis after much determination. She only lasted about a minute but she did get up. Way to go. We also watched Keri's dad waterskii. The man is awesome. He at 60+ years put to shame all of the kids out on that lake. This is a guy that refuses to get old. Keri is pretty good too and Richard is good at wakeboarding which is what Boo wants to try next. The day was hot and fun and tiring. The kids then came back to hotel and went swimming.

Sunday was the baby blessing playing with lots of cousins and then the long trip home.

it was fun but I think we need to start getting two hotel rooms, too many kids squished into one. We also did not get to see some cool stuff in Idaho falls that we would have liked but it was very nice to spend a couple of days with family that we don't see very often.

Sorry kids that this is the extent of our summer vacations this year. Too many needs at the old homestead, too many car repairs. Next year we will have to go on a big trip.

Thanks sis for watching the dog and hamster

Nothing much more exciting than that in our boring old lives.
