Evelyn and I spent the month of July roaming Idaho and Oregon to visit family. I think I'll break up the post into parts so that it's not a mile long.
Our trip started the evening of June 29th when Jesse got off
work. We jumped in the car and headed to Pocatello to visit his
family.
The Keenans (Jesse's sister Kandace's family) came to visit us our first day in Pocatello.
Grandpas tractor was a little too enticing for this little miss. Every
time she saw it she wanted to sit on it and move the levers.
A few days later we went to visit the Keenans in Firth . Evie loved their chickens!
On July 3rd we all went to Rigby to see the Webster's (Jesse's sister Heidi's family) for lunch and swimming at Rigby Lake. We had a great time splashing in the water, playing in the sand
and enjoying the sun.
That night we all went back to Pocatello, slept on Grandpa's lawn and
woke up to a pancake breakfast. (When I say
"we" I mean Jesse. Evie and I slept upstairs in a bed)
After breakfast we headed to town to watch the 4th of July Parade.
The Goodwins (Debbie's sister Rachel's family) came down to watch with us.
Zac, Jenny and their boys came up too!
After lunch Zac made this great slip'n slide in Grandpa's pasture. It was a hit! Even the adults took it for a spin!
After all that fun on the slide we cleaned off with a waterballoon fight. THe dirtiest of us also had to use the hose and some shampoo.
We wrapped up the day with the fireworks show in Pocatello. It was a wonderful way to spend our Independence Day. Surrounded by
family, enjoying each others company and our country's freedom!
On the morning of the 6th Evelyn and I hitched a ride with my brother Brian to
Fruitland to spend some time with my family. Jesse and his family headed to the cabin in Driggs to clean and do some
landscaping.
On Saturday they all went to Upper and Lower Mesa Falls.
Jesse stayed until Sunday morning, then headed back here to Montrose so he could work on Monday.
It was great to get to see family that we have missed dearly since we've moved. We were a little spoiled living in Boise so close to everyone for a year.
