So the week before Memorial Day, we packed up , rushed to plant our garden(which most of it died while we were gone due to the fun Pullman weather we've been having), and headed down to Pocatello to visit my family. Scott spent the days writing his senior paper at my sisters while she was at work so he wouldn't have any distractions. The boys loved being there and spent most of their time doing this:
For the weekend we traveled down to Malad to my Grandma Hills house. For all my life this has been the tradition to go stay at my grandmas, have lots of really good food, cut and arrange flowers and then go to the cemeteries and place them on the family graves while our parents spurt out family history information to us. We always play games, have sleepovers, and see all of our cousins. We spend days fishing and going to the ranch house, mowing lawns and exploring. So this year was only slightly different now that Grandma is gone and all the families are bigger. My mom and dad brought their 5th wheel and my cousin Jenny and her husband brought theirs. A bit to cold for tents though. It was fun to see most of my cousins and to catch up. I hope we keep the traditions alive. We went shot gun shooting with Amanda and Steve- she is truly a dead eye- quite impressive Amanda!(There it is in print for ya!) Monday night we came back to Pocatella and came home the next day. Spencer made good friends with his newer cousin Braeden. They were together all weekend-but i got no pics(If anybody else did I'd love some). And Cameron liked playing with Lily a lot until more girls came and boys were boys again-They had some pretty funny conversations.:)
So here's something out of the ordinary and will only happen in Idaho- Cameron had to use the JOHN, so we stopped in Dubois.. and had to wait for sheep! Yep sheep. They were herding them over the overpass and there were probably 500 or more! It was a lot of fun for the boys. And I couldn't find my camera as it was packed away. Only in Idaho right?
