Idaho Trip - Part 3

Date: Nov 8th

The Gravens were flying back to Vegas this morning.
So we played with them until they hit the road.
Kyrrigan was sad the older kids had stayed in Idaho Falls with the cousins
but Laiklyn was there to gladly keep her busy!

Then we also headed to Idaho Falls and met at Luke's house

and then went to church with them.

It was their Primary Program.

I was excited to see my nieces perform

but Laiklym had other ideas

and screamed all through the program.

Which meant I was out in the halls with her counting the minutes

until we could get her to bed!!

Before the program started I snuck a pic of the cute cousins...

well at least they were cute until Anden 

decided to pull his constipation face when I snapped the pic.

After church we headed to lunch to meet Brooke, Chris, Laura, Noah and Mia.

The kids were their usual busy entertaining everyone in the restaurant type selves

(and no that doesn't mean it's a good thing! lol)

Cousin Pic!

And classic boys!

Then we literally had to peel apart Jeslynn and Taylee,

with both of them sobbing,

in order to head back to Blackfoot.

Yes they love each other....

but we'll also add sensory overload/sleepover hangover

to the situation as well!

Our drive home was completely peaceful

with Taylee and then Laiklyn crying the ENTIRE way!

I wanted to blow my lid until Ryan just busted up laughing at the scene

and then I couldn't stop laughing too!

This is when you know you've had too much fun with cousins! ;)

And then the parents that are laughing in order to keep their sanity!!! lol

Needless to say the girls were forced to take naps when we got back to Dad's.

And suddenly we had completely different children when they awoke!!

Ahh the miracles of naps! lol

So it was back outside to do the country thing!

Laiklyn however definitely didn't enjoy being forced to lay in those crunchy poky leaves!

No smiles here!

So it was on to the swings

And then a freezing cold rhino/rzr ride

Taylee and I stopped and collected leaves and pine cones from each tree we passed.

Um can you tell that we don't get Fall where we live?

Fallen leaves are a nuisance for the rest of the world but exciting for us! lol

Eventually we loaded up in the truck and headed into town for dinner

And then it was back to Papa Nolie's to play until bedtime!

Taylee even got her first guitar lesson/serenade!
