The Farm

One of the main reasons we wanted to go out west was to visit Idaho again since we hadn't been there since 2009.  We've both really missed it.  We stayed with April's family in Rigby and Had. A. Blast. there.  

April and Tom have neighbors with a farm and they kindly let us come over and gawk at all their precious animals.  One of April's young women gave us the tour.  

I was a little bit happy at that moment.

I think her name was Hayley?  Anyhoo, notice how she has braces on in this picture...

Ethan with the pigs.

Lily's dream of being around horses came true!

Erin and Ella petting the horse and Alix behind them.

The kids were thrilled to see one of the cows poop and both of them peeing for like 5 minutes straight.  I think that was the highlight of their day.

We came back a few days later when Hayley got her braces off!  She was sweet enough to hurry home from the orthodontist to give the kids rides on her horse.  Here are Lily and Sam.

Did I mention that it was about 45 degrees and windy that day?  Lily regretted her wardrobe choice later.

Fashion!

This is not a flattering picture of me.  But it is proof that I was there.

I love April so much.

Ella led out the fashion show showcasing Grandmum's clothes from Samoa and Hong Kong, as well as the clothes/furs that she inherited from her aunt.

One of the twins again.  (Sorry!  Worst aunt ever!)

Miss Lil

This was my absolute favorite of all.  Ella in a dark wig.  Mum's expression is the same as mine was.

St. George Temple

Everyone! (except uncle Robert)

Look at all those precious grandkiddos.

St. George Part II

These ladies were enjoying the good weather and their coloring books out on the patio.

Brooke created a scavenger hunt for all the grandkids and there were rice krispies and bubbles at the end!

We went to a playground where Ben took pictures while I napped in the car.  Whoops.

April spinning Trina.  I LOVE this picture.  Do we ever really grow up?

Oh Ella and Claire.  Always so cute together.

We went to a children's museum.  Here is Uncle Tom helping Alan.

Cute Alix 

The most popular part of the children's museum for my girls was the stage where you could pick your own music to perform to.  My girls stayed here for a solid hour.  They had a blast.

Skyler and Blake stayed in here for that long, too.  Nothing beats an interactive video game on the floor.
