Idaho Awesomeness

To get ready for any trip to Idaho we have to do a big shopping trip to get Muffy all of the good Canadian treats. Lucky I had Jack to hold everything. 

Jack was pretty excited about his first trip to the USA... 

 But he was a champ and did amazing!! He took a bottle and we were able to just power through and keep driving.

While in Idaho Jack got to go swimming for the first time. He almost slept through it and missed his chance but I was dying so I woke him up and put him in. We were at hot springs so the water was perfect. It was so much fun. The kids jumped off the diving board a million times. Mom got a private hot tub that was super sweet but kind of creepy walking down a long hallway to find it. 

Thank goodness Mom came for the weekend because we were able to buy all this pop and send it back with her. We have a slight addiction to amazing American pop!

These two hooligans got along so nice! It was fun to see them play together. 

I definitely love the Idaho weather and will be sad when Muffy moves to Alaska but I am also excited to go visit her during that adventure. 

Thanks to Denton we were able to do a quick shopping trip to our favourites: Real Deals and the mall. Sisters are just the greatest. It was so much fun spending the week with these crazies. #awesome

When we got back after shopping Denton had a fire going and was roasting marshmallows with all the kids! Seriously! Amazing. 

Scarlett is a full time job. You turn around and she is gone climbing and getting into things. This particular instance she went inside and was double fisting Chick-Fil-A lemonade. But seriously, she is adorable! 

Thanks to Grandma we were able to spend time outside blowing bubbles!

 The trampoline is amazing and basically a babysitter! You could zip up the netting and kids couldn't get out! So awesome! Not to mention they loved being out there all the time.

Every night we would feed the kids something super easy and then once they went to bed we would go out and get the good stuff. This included Buffalo Wild Wing and Cafe Rio. During the day I made sure to go to Chick-Fil-A regularly. They now have frozen lemonade. It is pretty fantastic. I basically just eat the entire time I am there. We also manage to squeeze in Kiwi Loco. Afterwards we went to a park and played basketball. 

Jack was so loved by all of his cousins. Mason was even kind enough to feed him a freezie and Scar tried to give him the end of Ollie's bottle. Mason was pretty proud because Jack did fall asleep in his arms. He is a baby whisperer. 

Scar was very diligent at giving Jack his soother. She knew which soothers were hers, what ones belonged to Jack and what kind Ollie had. 

 We also found out that Jack LOVES the swing. It was so nice to be able to put him in there and get some stuff done. His cousins made sure he was plenty warm with at least 4-5 blankets.

Even Scar took a turn in the swing. It was her favourite place to be. 

Finally it was time to say good bye. It is always sad to leave but I am excited to see them all again. Hopefully sooner rather than later. 

Scar melts my heart. On the way home she just liked to hold Jack's hand. She even tried to share a few fries with him by throwing some into his carseat! 

We made it back to Calgary just in time to hear Jacob give his homecoming talk! He is so grown up. It is crazy how fast two years fly by!
