Idaho, you're pretty great.

It feels like we have driven to Idaho every other month this year and feel so blessed because of it. We may not live as close as we would like to but we are so glad that we are able to drive there in a day. July brought another trip to Idaho with it. We got to go up for Josh's 10 year reunion, for Jamie's birthday, and for the fourth of July with family. It really was so much fun and we soaked up every minute, knowing that it could be our last summer there for a while (depending on where Josh gets accepted to school). We love our families and are so grateful we live as close as we do!

We love Nana and Papa's pond.

We missed Jake!

Happy 10 year reunion, Joshy!

I got the run down on the new lawn mower.

Milo, testing out Nana's
new "Nocliars".

We just might have to get
them a pair!

Water balloons were a hit! ...literally

Next up, bubbles!

GO Benji, GO!

And after bubbles, Slip N' Slide!

Go, Milo, GO!

And last, but not least, a little bit of R&R with papa.

We sure did miss Amanda but it was
definitely a night we will never forget.

We sure enjoyed the 4th of July parade.

Especially when we got to see
Lightning McQueen up close and personal!

But the best part of the day might have been playing
Mario Kart with Nana and Papa.

A fun afternoon in the pool with cousins! But
Uncle Scott and Dad couldn't miss out on the fun.

Such cute kids!

Pea raiding is always
a good time.

Water balloons were a hit!

Sparklers were much more fun this year!

Expectooooo-paaatronummm!

The loud ones were our favorite!

Such a Ham!

Meanwhile, Janelle's chin was
just too hard to resist!

Milo loves his Daddy.

I don't think I have ever seen
Link NOT smiling.

We all appreciated Dad's effort in the
patriotism department.

A captivated audience.

Ice cream on the deck is the best.

We had a fun day playing
with the girls!

Walking down the road for some snow cones.

A detour to see the horses.

Spiderman was AMAZING!
And the company was great too.
