So Brave???

This past week we went to Idaho Falls to visit my sister and her family. They just moved and we wanted to check out their new "pad" I traveled all by myself with the 3 kids and pregnant. Yes it was brave, however I was so pleasantly suprised in how well my children traveled. They are such great travelers and at the end of a 7 hour trip I thought they would all be screaming but they were not. Thanks kids!! While we were there we did lots of fun and adventurous things. We went and fed the ducks on the snake river. Then we went to the local dairy and enjoyed an ice cream cone but did not enjoy the smell. Well at least my pregnant nose did not appreciate it. The kids loved the farm animals and baby calves that licked their legs and were so adorable. Then we went to the Tautphas Zoo and Park. This park is great it covers, 10 blocks and has a small carnival, zoo and pavillions and play grounds everywhere. Then we ended our hot day with a water fight at home. Then we got all dried up and went to a great little pizza buffet. It was so cheap and you got to choose pastas, pizzas and dessert. YUMMY!!! Everyone was satisfied. Then on Saturday night Linds and I went on a little drive we ended up driving past this enormous house and could help ourselves....there were no signs to Keep Out so we Entered. This house had at least 10 rooms and a bathroom connected to each room. It was a great and fun evening in an abandoned house. When we finally returned home to Ben we had some enormous smores. They were so yummy and so filling. Then we made the long trek home on Monday. We really had a great time there and we so grateful for the Smarts hospitality. Your home is so beautiful and so much fun to visit. I think we made Brian a little jealous of our visit and he wants to come soon too.
