WOW. . . that was A LOT!!
















So how much do you think you can fit into just 5 days (4 days really with travel time)? Well, I think we did a lot this week. I mean just look at all these pictures and you will see! This past week we decided to go to Idaho Falls because Brian had a week of vacation and we wanted to see GOOD fireworks (which we don't get in Kuna) so we got there on Tuesday night and the rest of the week went like this:
Wednesday: spent 17 hours driving and touring Yellowstone. It was very fun, but also very long for the Mommy's and their babies. . . but we made it, didn't we Tari, and we didn't even complain (too much).
Thursday: Brian and Dad went fishing at Henry's and caught their limit, plus a few extra, but since I didn't go, there are no pictures of that great day!
Friday: The 4th of July. We had a great breakfast that Tari cooked. We went and visited Brian's Grandma and Mom. We went to Noelle's (my friend of many, many years) family party. Then went to my Mom's house for some down home cookin'--pizza from Pizza Hut-delicious and minimal clean-up! Then we got to sit pretty much right next to the river to see the spectacular fireworks! AWESOME! When they were all over, Josh was all teary eyed and said "They were just so beautiful!" Ahhhh, right?
Then we went back to Mom's to light off our own fireworks. It was a very fun day!!!
Saturday: By now I am so ready for a break, and ready to go to sleep before midnight which I hadn't been able to do for three days (my sister-in-laws would be so proud). But NO, we went to Brian's family reunion, which they usually do at Christmas time, but since there are a lot of us that have to travel such long distances, they decided to have Christmas in July so we wouldn't have to drive in the winter. So we played at Ammon park all day and went swimming. It was lots of fun.
Sunday: We came home- WHEW!!

What a week, but it was worth it!!

Tim and I both made a comment the other night so I am not sure why it is not showing up. Anyway, it looks like you had a marathon of fun. The boys look like they had a blast and if you want to throw in a Southern trip some time we are up for it.

It was fun having you guys here, and no it didn't take us as long to go through the park as it did you, but it was still fun.
