Boise, ID Trip

Monday,  6/27/2011

It was so fun to visit the Bishops.  Darin was in China, but we were able to see Angie, Gavin, and Ellie.  We missed seeing baby Greyson by a week.  Brady and Gavin were excited to play Lego Star Wars together on the Wii.  Then we went to the free lunch at the park.  The kids had fun playing together.

Today Angie had some Relief Society Meetings, and she had a doctor's appointment, so I stayed home with the kids.  They played really well together.  Brady and Gavin played with the Legos or played Lego Star Wars on the Wii.  Then after dinner, we went to Jump Time.  The kids had so much fun jumping and going down slides.  Logan and Clark were a little scared at first, but after I went down with them one time, they wanted to go down all by themselves.  I couldn't believe how brave and strong Clark was.

The boys all wore star wars shirts today, and if they weren't playing Lego Star Wars on the Wii, they were building a "Lego Star Wars City."  Gavin also had swim lessons all week, and we also were getting ready for the Heflins to get to Angie's house.  They didn't get there until midnight.

We visited with the Heflins in the morning while I packed and loaded the car.  Then we drove to Whitney's house in Riverton, UT.  We had a good time with the Bishops.

Allen Family Reunion

Vance's family has always been good about getting together once a year for a family reunion.  This was his mom's side of the family, and her brother, Trent, was in charge.  He chose to have it in Sun Valley, Idaho.  We were very excited to escape the heat of Las Vegas.  We drove up on Friday, 6/24/2011, and we arrived in Sun Valley around 3:30pm.  We swam, visited with everyone, and had dinner with everyone in the evening.  We stayed at the Sun Valley Resort which was very nice.

We went hiking.  Brady and Logan did great!  Clark walked some, but I carried him most of the time. 

When we got back from the hike, we had lunch and the kids played.  The closet in our room was big.  We had all three boys sleep there in their sleeping bags, but during the day, the kids turned it into a playroom.

Then we had a blast swimming!

 

We decoupaged tiles with scenes of Sun Valley, ID to use as coasters.  They turned out great!  It was a fun day!

Sunday, 6/26/2011

We attended Sacrament meeting in Ketchum, ID, and then we had a picnic lunch at the River Run Lodge to end the reunion.  It was fun to see everyone. 

 Then Vance went with his dad to catch a flight in Salt Lake City, UT, and then the kids and I headed to Boise, ID to spend a few days with Angie, Gavin, and Ellie.  It was so fun to see them!

Cousin's Camp #2

Wednesday, 6/22/2011-- We arrived at Becky's around midnight last night.  The kids were so excited to play with their cousins.  They made up lots of games, they had a paper airplane flying contest, and we went to the park and had a picnic.

 

 We left for a couple of hours so that we could go to Abby's Birthday Party (their cousin on the other side).  When we got back, we had some more fun on the slip n' slide, running through the sprinkler's, and throwing water balloons.  The kids also had fun decorating cake pops that night.  It was a fun day!

  

  

I couldn't believe there was still snow on the mountains in June.  Pretty Crazy!

Thursday, 6/23/2011--Today was another good day!  The kids decorated canvas bags with puff paint, and then we spent the afternoon at Cowabunga Bay!  Riley was nice enough to take Brady around to all the slides, and he took Logan down the Lazy River.  Brady was so Brave going on the slides, and he loved hanging out with his Big Cousin, Riley.  Logan was only able to go on two slides, the pink and yellow slide.  He would only go down the pink slide, and I convinced him to go up to the yellow slide, but when it was his turn, he decided it looked too scary!  He had fun just playing in the water.

 

Vince and Ben were nice enough to watch the kids while I spent some time with my sisters.  We got some italian ice with some ice cream.  It was a good time. 

The night ended with some wrestling fun!  Then I loaded up, picked Vance up at the airport around midnight, and made it to Aunt Jane's around one in the morning.
