Amongst the chaos of gearing up for a big move and a big vaca coming up next week, (Yes, Pat and I had a vacation planned before the new job, and we are leaving the kids behind…eek!) we were able to make it up to Driggs, ID to spend the day with family. My brother and his family drove up from Boise for the week. We were excited to see them, it had been months since the last time we had been together.
After lunch, we drove to Jackson Hole, WY to swim at their aquatic center. We love it there. Our boys haven’t been swimming since last summer, so the twins didn’t remember a swimming pool. They freaked when we first put them in the water, but after watching all the other kids, their fears eventually disappeared and they both turned into daredevils themselves. I realized how difficult having twin toddlers is going to be this summer around water. On the way home, Pat and I discussed how anxious we both felt the entire time.

This picture is bound to get comments… But I assure you, he couldn’t start the fire starter, and I was watching him next to the fire the entire time :) But he thought he was roasting marshmallows along with everyone else.
We certainly had a fun day, and realized it may get tricky to get together once we move!
Thanks Dusting and Alisha for inviting us up for the day, Ledger is still asking if we can go back.
Looks so fun! I'm sure your parents will be so sad when you move
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely happy memories. I'm sure it will be hard to be away from family but you will one day come to realize the reason for the move....may it will be meeting someone new and becoming lifelong friends, having new experiences, living in the "big" city, shopping and malls all over the place, and the best thing is that you will be with your boys and continue on as a strong faithful family and Pat will be doing what he loves and is trained to do. I hope I run into you someday...maybe at the Southtown Mall. They have lots of things to entertain little kids. There is a lot of great splash parks in Riverton and Herriman that I take my 4-year-old (soon to be 5) grandson to on days his parents are working/at school. I'm sure you will have lots of fun adventures in the future.
