Ida, Ida, Idaho...

A couple of weeks ago we took a short trip up to Idaho to visit the Robertson Fam! We usually try to go over the 4th since they have the best firework show EVER, but Preston's brother and his wife were coming up later that week from San Francisco so we decided to wait and go up when they were there!
It's always a good time in Idaho! Lots of yummy food, good company, and we only see the kids a few times a day since they're usually off playing or climbing a tree! What more can you ask for.
It seems like we did a lot in the short time we were there.

We arrived Sunday afternoon and headed over to Preston's sister's house for a BBQ and a Birthday party for her little boy, Cameron. The kids LOVE it over at aunt Kesti's house. They have a swing set, trampoline, sand, and a HUGE yard to play in. Pretty much heaven for them. I am reminded, however, that we will NEVER have a sand box....EVER!! =)

The Birthday boy and his cute Pirate cake his awesome mom whipped up! Too cute!Brylee, Jessie, and Jace's body!Brylee and RachelKenner's hanging out enjoying tiny bites of cake!

The next day, we headed over to Tauphus Park to let the kids play and then walked over to "Fun Land" and let the kids ride some rides. Okay, we only let them ride on 1 ride each! It was kind of a rip off!

Aww, how cute is this picture??These little seats are evil. You get one tiny push and there's no stopping you! Kenley just kicked back in the shade!Brylee and her Grandma...or as she calls her...Robertson! Brylee chose the GREEN airplane to ride, Kayston chose the ferris -wheel. SCARY! The Bubbles were a huge hit for just about everyone at the park that day!After that, we headed over to the Green Belt AKA river and falls, to feed some ducks. I actually got pretty traumatized there after seeing about 5 or 6 male ducks pecking the head of a female duck until she was bleeding. They were out for death. My hubby tried to shew them away but they were ruthless! My Mother-in-law and I also tried to save the poor duck but they all went into a large bush and we couldn't get to them. It was SAD!After the traumatization, (yes, I know that's not a word) we went out for a yummy dinner at Famous Daves!

Aww, the 2 love birds, Kayston and Cayden! My sister-in-law thought this was cute! I'm not sure at what age it becomes more weird than cute. For now, we'll say 8! =)

Brylee had fun with her cousin Jessie running around and throwing grass! Kayston, of course, liked haning from the tree branch! I swear when he grows up his dream house will be a tree house! Not kidding!

Even though Brylee doesn't get to see her Uncle Kenton too much, she saw him and gave him the biggest hug! It was so sweet!The next day was raining so we just hung around Preston's parents house and visited! It was a perfect day for Preston and his mom to make some OH SO GOOD Cinnamon Rolls! I swear she should sell these babies! Best Cinnamon Rolls I've ever tasted!

The magic making of the cinnamon rolls...The girls coloring.... Brylee, Jessie, and RachelI had to take a picture of this cause I think this was the first time he sat down in 2 days!Later that night it cleared up enough to have one last BBQ and an early 3rd Birthday party for our sweet niece, Jessie! She was so cute while opening all her presents! We're excited that we'll be able to see her turn 4 as well since they're moving back to Utah in 2 weeks! I think we're WAY more excited about it than they are!
