We Went To See Aunties and Uncles, Part 1

In April we went to visit both my brothers and sister-in-laws. We had 3 reason's for this trip. Emily was having her photography exhibit on display and we wanted to see it. Ally and Leigh were pregnant with twin girls and I just happen to have some twin girl stuff to pass onto them, so I loaded as much as I could fit into my van. And we wanted to see them, because it isn't the same with them gone. We stopped in Nampa to see our great friends on the way there and back and I didn't take a single picture because I am super lame. But it was awesome to see our amazing friends and I miss them so much.
I did however get a few shots of the kids in the car. This is what happens when you give your child markers to color with and loads of snacks.


This is what the other child looks like sho didn't have markers to keep her occupied.



First Stop: Rexburg to see Tio Ian and Aunt Emily

Shortly after we arrived Em had to go to class so we checked into our hotel and went to get lunch. I was super excited to discover that there was a Arctic Circle, since we don't have one where we live now, but had one when we lived in ID.




True at other Arctic Circles I've been too. Not the case with the one in Rexburg, it was a huge let down and no one finished their food. Oh well!!!

But it had a play place and since it was raining the kids got to run around and play.



Ignore the messy face please.

The ice cream was good : )

Had to take a picture of Miss E's head and the fact that she colored all over her body. The markers claim to be washable, but it took 2 days of swimming multiple times and a couple bath to finally come off.

Speaking of swimming...




We did a lot of it.

Tio Ian

Grandpa and Miss E. Oh did I mention that Grandpa is a rock star and came with me?? Jonathan had to work so Grandpa was a champ and went on our awesome road trip.


Emily's Exhibit




Touring BYU-I
We walked all over campus. P-man was super excited to see the giant fish tank. He loves fish tanks.

So Emily and Ian tell us they are taking us to the stuffed animal room. I think this is a odd thing to have on campus, but maybe some professor has a teddy bear collection or something.

Oh those type of stuffed animals. The kids loved it. They're still talking about it.



Busy's photography work.





Ready for a magic trick??

Now you see him...







Nope he's real. The kids thought he was the coolest thing, and have been asking for a pet parrot ever since.

We went to the new rec center.
Ran a couple laps on the inside track.




Played some basketball

Checking out Em's Exhibit one last time.














Big girl on campus, Miss T.


We had such a great time visiting Ian and Em, and were so sad to say goodbye.
