ben's family time in ID

We consider our time in Idaho to be fairly sacred. We only go as a whole family once a year. It is so hard to squeeze everything in and see everyone, but we do our best. This year we were able to see Ben's parents, 2 of his sisters, and his brother. It is always so much fun to catch up and enjoy each others company. Now that there are more grandkids its fun to watch cousins develop relationships we each other. We met Ben's sister Liz at a park for a quick visit. She is the closest to Ben's age and I think it's fun to watch them interact and tease each other (she can call Ben things I could never getaway with). Thanks for loading up all your kids and meeting us Liz!

Rhone really warmed up to Emmie. I was surprised he let her carry him around for half the night- oh the life of a little boy with big sisters.

We headed over to Ben's brother's house in Twin Falls. They were gracious enough to even have us for the night. Ben's parents and sister met up with us too, so it was a full house. We are delicious food, let the little boys jump at the bounce house, and watched the big boys shoot guns. Thanks for having us guys!

Jacob and Rhone finally warmed up to each other.

We all played just about as much as the little boys.

Jacob and Rhone playing with their new dump trucks from Grandmommy. They are pretty cool and Rhone is really into dumping. He will dump out anything imaginable and then with a proud look of his face say, "Mum, I dump" like he as really done something great.
