The week before school started, the kids and I took a trip to Eastern Idaho and met up with my sister, Angie, and her kids. We had a great time with Grandma Swensen and Uncle Kirk doing most of our favorite Idaho Falls things!
 |
| A favorite past time in our family is the Idaho Falls sand hills. Claire first experience was a raging success. She loved it! |
 |
| My kiddos and me on the sand hill. |
 |
| Cousins! |
 |
| Super cute picture of Aunt Angie and Claire. |
 |
| Ruth LaRue stealing some of Great Grandma's water. |
 |
| We went to the Museum of Idaho (a first for us!) and they had a special pirates exhibit. |
 |
| Group shot attempt! |
 |
| Yummy ice cream at Reed's Dairy. |
 |
| The petting zoo at Reed's Dairy. |
 |
| We fed the ducks on the greenbelt. |
 |
| Ruth and me with the real Idaho Falls. |
 |
| Claire and me with the Idaho Falls temple where both sets of her grandparents were married. |
 |
| We went to Grandpa Swensen's grave. |
 |
| Lanie really wanted a picture with Claire. |
 |
| And then so did everyone else. Babies are so popular! |
 |
| We went on the carousel in Rexburg. |
 |
| Claire was a huge fan of the splash park and didn't seem to mind getting soaked. Ruth sat at the bottom of this slide most of the time. Except for when she decided to get totally naked for some reason! At that point, we were all done at the splash park! |
 |
| Madison was so nice to help babysit Claire for a bit! |
 |
| Of course we had to go to Big Jud's! |
 |
| That's a big burger! |
 |
| When we weren't out and about playing, the kids spent a lot of time playing cards at home. I learned to play Kings on Corners and other card games at my grandparents' house. |
 |
| Ruth literally fell asleep reading. She was a trooper through all of our adventures! |
