The first evening there we met up with my grandparent's at Chuck-A-Rama for dinner then just headed back to the hotel. I went swimming with the girls that night and they both had so much fun! Mary was so happy to be able to splash to her little hearts content and Avery loved being thrown up in the air.
The next morning after breakfast we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's to weed their garden and plant some flowers. Avery and Mary enjoyed it and made me wish we had a larger garden they could help me with. Mary loved playing in the dirt and climbing up trees while we worked. Avery enjoyed helping to dig holes and putting the flowers in them. I loved seeing Louis so willingly help my Grandpa even though he was not feeling well.
After the garden was done we went to Grandma Donna's good friends 60th wedding anniversary.
This is where we got these awesome picture!
We then headed up to the Bird's of Prey. We got to walk around to see the birds they have there and sit for a presentation where they brought out a couple birds and told us about them. Mary was more interested in the fish in the little stream they had, but the rest of us enjoyed seeing the birds.
This picture would be cooler if the eagle was facing me
After Bird's of Prey we went to eat at Sizzler's, I think I've been there maybe once. The food was okay and the service was really good. We headed back to the hotel after dinner and put the kids in bed. Mary decided to wake up at 3:30 in the morning and didn't go back to sleep until 5:30, which is of course when Ethan decided to wake up! We did all sleep in until 9 though so that was nice. Grandma and Grandpa J had stake conference that Sunday so we found a random church building and went to their sacrament service. After church we had a great lunch made by Grandma Donna and birthday cake for Grandpa and me! They were very sweet to include me even though it was Grandpa's birthday.
We talked and played for a while after lunch then got in the car to make out way back home. The drive home was just as good as the drive up. We were all happy to be home, but really enjoyed out little trip to Idaho! We love our grandparents so much and love being able to spend some quality time with them. We are excited to see them again in a few months when they come down for my parent's homecoming.
