And Here We Have Idaho

We took a quick trip to Idaho this month to celebrate my Grandma's 80th Birthday. Best of all, she though that just my dad and my aunt were coming to help her with some things, so all the rest of us were a surprise! We had a great time together with everyone.

This is the first time my camera has been on the roof to take a picture. Credit to Thomas for getting it up and down!

Katie loved playing "ball" with Grandpa.

Funny moment that captures my Grandma's personality ... We were hanging out in the kitchen when she came up with a handful of irridescent multicolored kitchen sponges. She said, "Here, pick a sponge!" "I thought these were so pretty and I've got loads of them, so pick your favorite color." Maybe it's just me, but I had to stiffle some giggles on that one. Thanks for the sponge Grandma. I will think of you whenever I use it.

On our way home, we decided to take in a bit of Yellowstone, since the last time we went Eleanor was 3 months old.



It was pouring rain about a half hour before this. Glad we waited!



Some amazing colors and scenery. We did see a buffalo, some elk, deer, birds, antelope, etc.

The sunset was hitting these mountians just as we were on our way out the east entrance. It was a really beautiful drive - at least that part of it...
