Idaho!

Our summer wouldn't have been complete without a trip up to Grandma & Grandpa's house in Idaho.

The girls LOVE the tire swing

You get candy at a parade?! Score!

At the Eastern Idaho State Fair

(my cousin hooked the girls up with some ice cream)

I love this picture of Elise with her great (and he truly is) Grandpa

a shark tank in Idaho?! we're not safe anywhere!!! :)

Elise saw the rides and said "Yea! Disneyland! Me love Disneyland!"

gotta love the carousel

and a roller coaster for Isis

Awesome storm - downpour, hail, thunder, lightening

for a family that doesn't get weather... we loved it

sunsets from Grandpa's front porch are some of the best 

After the storm we had "Save the worms!"

I love my Grandpa so much! His life has not been easy but he didn't let that grow him into a grouchy old man. He is kind, soft-spoken, strong, and quietly goes about doing good. He is wonderful.

We also got to make a stop on our way up and again back down, to see our good friends the Gianis. Such buddies...most of the time ;)
