Weekend in Idaho

We had a fantastic long weekend in Idaho visiting David's parents and attending David's 10th High School Reunion. We managed to pack quite a bit into the four days we were there! We saw both sets of David's grandparents, went to two High School Reunion functions, corrupted Windows on Mom and Dad's computer (Grace gets the credit for that one!), took Mom out for a Margarita Pedicure (VERY fun!), helped Dad finish the tv stand, went on the Tour of Homes Parade, and saw a puppet show at the library. Whew!

David's High School Reunion was interesting, it wasn't very well planned but they still managed to get a fairly decent turn out. I knew a few of the people since several of them also attended the University of Idaho but the vast majority I met for the first time Friday night. My 10th Reunion is next year and I'll get to pay David back by letting him hang out with people he doesn't know for a few hours! There were plenty of people that already had four or more kids at David's reunion and I have a feeling that won't be the case at mine. I can't even imagine having four kids right now...yikes!



Grace went to a puppet show at the Library Thursday afternoon and was very impressed when the spider came down to see Little Miss Muffett. She did a good job paying attention for about 30 minutes before she lost interest. She did get her very first (temporary!) tattoo which she thought was pretty cool. She thinks the bug is very pretty.



The boys worked a bit on finishing our new television stand. It was installed in our living room late last night, I'll post pictures of the finished product later. You will all drool and wish you had a Father in Law like mine, I promise! Ethan was enthralled with watching the saws. He's definitely all boy.



Grace did a lot of coloring while we were there and it was cute when she colored with David's Grandpa. They shared the Dora coloring book!

The trip home yesterday was loooooong and hooooooooot but we made it home in one piece. The weather got funny in Portland, the rain came out of nowhere and came down in buckets. There was a ton of lightening but not a lot of thunder (or we couldn't hear it over the roar of the rain on the van). We stopped for an hour and had dinner with my parents before heading out on the last leg of the journy. The hard rain continued until we got a little past Wilsonville and then it just stopped completely. We got home late so we just put the kids to bed in their clothes and unpacked a bit before heading to bed.
