Idaho Vacation

This last weekend we loaded everyone and everything up and drove up to Idaho. Matt's brother, Brett and his wife Nicole drove over from Pennsylvania and Matt's dad had planned a boys campout since it was the first time in years that all of the kids were home together. We had a great time! The boys left on Sunday afternoon and didn't get home until Monday evening. They came home dirty and tired, but it sounds like they had a good time! The girls (and Caleb) stayed home and just relaxed. We watched movies, went out to lunch, and visited with each other. It was so nice to get caught up on each other's lives. It was especially nice to have another girl my age to chat with (thanks Nicole)! The weekend went by way too fast! All Alora wanted to do was play on the swings, so each of us got to take a turn pushing her. Caleb absolutely LOVED the trampoline. It was so hot there that Camille and Sean turned the sprinkler on underneath the trampoline and the kids loved it! It was the perfect way to cool down! Lucky loved being on the farm and having all that room to run! Brett and Nicole brought their dog Lily and they had so much fun playing together. In fact, Lucky got to stay up there another week so Lily wouldn't get lonely. We had such a great time and can't wait until the next time we're all together!
