Rexburg Finale!


Sarah was bound and determined to give us a full and complete taste of Idaho during our time visiting. And she made sure to do just that. One day we took the cars out to the middle of nowhere with the quad and Kip took turns taking all the kids (and me) out on a ride. They all loved it so much! And while one kid took a turn the other kids got to explore and catch crickets and play. I love watching my kids be kids and watching them have fun and discover things together. It is so neat!
And I Love my sister! So lucky to have her as my forever best friend!



I'll be honest, guns just scare me. I don't have a lot of experience with them and handling them makes me nervous. But shooting this gun of Kips was really neat and exciting. And felt like a right to passage. And I have to say, I look pretty good doing it too!

Makenna could have stayed and caught crickets all day!
Grammy was Super cute and decided to have a little Grammy carnival in the back with the kids one day. She had all sorts of little games for them to play and things for them to do. They absolutely loved it! They were all so excited and enthusiastic about it all. Such lucky kids!


Later on that day the big kids got to decorate cupcakes for our "cousin birthday party" we had. We figured that since almost all the kids birthday are in the summer or the beginning of fall, it would be fun to let them celebrate all together and exchange gifts so we could actually watch them open their presents up. The kids loved it and I think it is going to be a new tradition for our Summer get together!
Singing Happy Birthday to everyone and letting them blow their candle out. We did it the right way!




Gorgeous Sunsets in Idaho!!
This little girl was In LOVE with baby Paige. She would have stayed by her side and held her every moment if she could have. Such a sweet heart and big baby lover right here!
Most of my favorite girls in the whole world!
All good things must come to an end. And after an exhausting and incredible time with the Robinsons it was time to head home. It was hard to leave and yes, many of us cried saying good bye. But it was a great trip and was filled with memories that will last forever! The trip back home was a bit more tiresome than the trip up there. We were all worn out, ready to get home, anxious to be done driving. There were high highs and low lows on the drive. The biggest highlight was our celebrity spotting in St George at Cafe Rio where we ran into Mitt Romney and his wife! Makenna didn't even know it but she was waiting for the restroom right next to him. He even said hi to her! 

You do what you have to do to stay entertained in the car for this long with a kid that couldn't care less about watching movies. 
A beautiful sight to come home to. As much fun as we had on our trip, there is not place like home.
