Idaho Trip

So the travelogue continues... I promise I will try to get back to real life soon. But for the last month, I guess traveling has been real life. While we were out West visiting Scott's family, we were also able to go to Idaho to visit my grandparents and go to the Tucker reunion. It was a blast.  It was also great to see my siblings that I haven't seen for a while.  Here are some pics from the trip!

We split up the drive to Idaho Falls and stayed in Meridian ID the first night.  We stayed at the same Motel 6 that we had stayed at when visiting Boise previously.  James was about the same age as Alan had been, and he likewise loved the big mirrors over the beds.  We also got to swim in the pool before we left in the am.  The boys absolutely loved the hotel.
When we got there, a bunch of family was gone 4 wheeling, and then when they got back Scott took Alan for a little ride in the backyard.
Here we are at the Idaho Falls Chukars game 
Alan had more birthday celebrations in Idaho!
We tried out the Cocoa Bean in IF.  Emily is one of the bakers at the Cocoa Bean in Provo. It was delicious!
A little croquet action in the backyard
James had to get in on it too.
I'm not sure which Alan liked better, the ice cream or the animals at Reed's Dairy.
Playing the name game II
Here is a photo from when the oldest 5 grandchildren were little- sitting on a log in Island Park.
And here is a recreation of that photo at this reunion- sitting on a log in Island Park.
Sisters and boys sitting on the same log. :)
We went horseback riding at a state park.  Here is a pic of Scott before we left.
Here we are along the trail.  It was beautiful.

These guys didn't go on the ride, but they got led around on a little walk and LOVED it!  Especially James.  He did not want to get down. :)
We also took a little float trip down the river.

And Alan

Everyone had a great time
The boys were in the boat most of the time, but toward the end, Alan got in a tube with Hannah

All of my little girl cousins LOVED playing with Alan and James.  It was great!  Morgan thought James would look great with this new do!
He really did like roasting marshmallows.  I think the fire was a little hot. :)
And this is why he liked it.
Family photo... I'm honestly not sure if this was a happy or sad scream.

Olivia, Morgan, and Hannah loved playing with James.  Big James came to say hi as well.

Another family photo in our reunion shirts.
We had a blast and it was so much fun to see everyone! Can't wait for the next round of celebrity meltdown! Love you fam. :)

  1. We had so much fun being together with your family. I will have to steal a few of these to add to my blog. I LOVE the photo of the boys on the horse.
