IDAHO!!!

Warning: extremely LONG post.

Well, we made it back from our vacation in Idaho. We actually got back on Sunday, but have been recuperating and are finally all getting over colds/flu. Not fun. But, we did have a great time in Idaho. I love Idaho in the summertime, and we were able to do most of my favorite things there; ride the horses, eat at Taco Time, have snow cones, Reed's Dairy ice cream, catch up with some old friends, spend lots of time with the family, and a lot more. We were able to spend a week and a half with my family before the Watts' came into town for the reunion, and we had a blast. Here are some highlights of our trip.

Watts Family Reunion with matching T-shirts.
Chasing little Brooklyn all around the park.
Grandpa and Grandma Watts - 60 years and still so cute.
Dancing.
Brooklyn made a lot of new friends - Leah . . .
Gavin . . .
and Jack. (Thanks Jenni and Terrell for such sweet kids and letting Brooklyn chase them around and smother them with hugs.)
Fun times with my bff Micheal.
More of loving Jack (maybe annoying him)

The IF parade .
So much fun!
We even brought Ryan along so he wouldn't miss out on the festivities.
The fireworks show at the river. Brooklyn was not a fan - we had to leave 5 minutes after they started. She was screaming and shaking so bad.

Brooklyn and her new friend Hannah.
Dinner with the Griggs family.
The Rexburg temple - beautiful.
So pretty.
Visiting Grandpa Rudd's grave in Parker.

Fun in the sun.
Loving her swimming pool.
Showing off her cute belly. : )
Running through the sprinkler.
We even went slip and sliding.

Beautiful Swan Valley, Idaho.
Introducing Brooklyn to the horses.
Brooklyn's first ride.
She loved it!
She loved petting Colonel's ears.

Visiting the IF zoo.
Not even scared of the tiger.
Daddy showing his wing span. : )
Brooklyn loved the monkeys.
Her new friends!
Feeding the ducks by the river.
They really weren't hungry, bummer!
Picnic at Porter Park with Taco Time! Yum!
Chasing little B all over the place!
What a cutie!

Gotta love Idaho summers, never know how much we would miss it, huh? Our fireworks here suffered in comparison. Bet you folks just spoil "little B," rotten (so cute), looks like a lot of fun. Tell them hello from me. I get to go there in a couple of weeks, we are excited!
