Here's Rexy!!!

Some of us just need a little R&R now and then.  I decided to head to Idaho a couple of weeks ago to see Mandy again.  It's just not fair that we never get more than an hour or two to visit before another event or obligation pulls us away.  So, I grabbed my kids and headed North.  We stayed with Cory and Mandy for a couple days in Rexburg.  It was so fun! Above, you see Chanel at the splash park that's right across the street from their house! 

Blair and India warm up on their towels...

Chanel operates heavy machinery on their big ol' dirt pile.

Sprinkler + Trampoline = Summertime Bliss

+ Sparklers = More Summertime Bliss

Gathering the eggs...

Carousel time!

Katie drove from Idaho Falls to visit with us for a bit.  We laughed that all the kids wanted in on this picture...she's a kid-magnet!

Yay!  Annie came too!

Grabbing Mandy's pregger belly...

Singing 'round the fire!

Boyd told the funny story about Herman...

Out at their development...gorgeous place.

Checking teeth for s'mores...

Throwing rocks at their development.  India picked up what they all thought was a frog...turns out, it was a water beetle.  She chucked it as soon as she had it, then cried for about an hour.

All the kiddos!

On to Swan Valley, where Annie and I drove together.  Aunt Nette made dinner and a wonderful breakfast too!  Ben, Daniel, and their cute wives Darcy and Chelsea were there too.

After a wonderful time in Swan Valley, we visited Joseph and Jenny Jo and their new colts...

Down to Randolph...
