Over the hills and through the woods to Grandmas house we go...

So this last weekend we went up to Idaho to visit my family. Kendall, my dad, Scott, Kendall's dad, and my uncles all went on a motorcycle up to Yellowstone and Jackson Hole and I stayed behind with my mom. The boys had an awesome time and they were able to get some great male bonding time in. Total Kendall rode about 1300 miles and I thought that would make him not want a motorcycle anymore but it did just the opposite because he wants one even more now. He got to rent a Harley Davidson Ultra Classic which is like the Cadillac of motorcycles. They had lots of fun and im so glad he got to go but I am also so glad he is back because we definitely missed him.After they left on their trip me, my mom, Ryan and Avery all left to go camping. We were all so excited because I haven't been camping in awhile and it was just going to be lots of fun. The place we went had a hot spring pool which was alot of fun. We all went swimming in and really enjoyed the nice warm water. There was this fun little creek right behind out campsite that we went to go play in but the water was ice cold and Avery hated it. She got really mad when I put her feet in it. After all the swimming and playing it was bed time for Avery and we made her, her own little sleeping bag in out tent.
After Avery went to bed we sat around the campfire and just had alot of fun. We roasted marshmallows and looked at the stars. It was alot of fun because we just got to talk and have fun with each other without any interruptions. That night we all froze to death because it was so dang cold and I was very happy when it was time to wake up so that I could go stand by the fire and drink hot chocolate. Cam[ing was so fun and we loved every minute of it. THANKS MOM for making our weekend so fun!! We love you!After we packed up and headed back home we all got cleaned up and went out to dinner where Avery was the star attraction. We had 4 different waitresses come up to us to tell us how beautiful she was. Now I know she is beautiful because she is my baby but it is also alot of fun when other people tell you how pretty your baby is. She sat in her Bumbo on the table with us and just felt like such a big girl. She really likes to look at things now and so we gave her this menu to look at and it was so funny because it was the beer and wine menu and she looked so interested in it.

Aunt Jennifer was at Youth Conference for a couple of the days we were there but when she came home she went on a walk with Avery and they had some good aunt/niece bonding time. While we were at my parents house Avery and I shared the same bed (which I will never do again). She moves so much in her sleep and she pretty much pushed me off a queen size bed. She is a silly girl.Well after all that fun the boys came home all in one piece and I was so happy because I missed my hubby. Avery was so excited to see her dad, she just got a huge grin on her face when she saw him. We stayed one more day and then headed home on Tuesday. We always stop at the same gas station when go to and from Idaho and this time we got shakes and let Avery get out of her carseat for a minute so she could stretch. While she was out she decided that she wanted to drive the car. It was pretty dang cute and she is already just like her daddy loving cars!
