July 15-17th

Finishing up our trip to Blackfoot.....on Friday we headed to Idaho Falls to do a little shopping! Always something I am up for :) It was fun to be with everyone and of course being with f-a-m-i-l-y. We went to Kohl's, TjMaxx, Ross, the mall, & Sam's Club. The kids were definitely worn out by the end and when everyone went to the distribution center I stayed in the car while Tate took a nap..and I needed the rest too. My kids wear me out big time sometimes, but I love it!

My kids reading @ Ross while I looked around the area :))

I really wish Twin had one of these play areas because it is a fun break for the kids while shopping, but it would also come in handy during the winter!

Good thing I make this girl wear leggings because you can see why!

On Saturday Martice, Maren, the kids, and I all went to the park in Blackfoot to celebrate Blackfoot Pride Days! It was seriously the best way to spend time with the kids and have fun at the same time because not only did we watch the snowmobile races across the lake, but the kids were able to cool off in the lake as well. I really wish Twin had a place like that, but being in Twin it would be more like white trashville then staying this nice lol...I kept looking around the whole time thinking wow this is a pretty decent crowd; there was not a lot of people walking around smoking, drinking, or wearing basically nothing when they should not be! Definitely not something that would happen in Twin! After being out at the lake all day we went to Genese's again to hang out and say our goodbyes! We took the kids to the dollar store to pick out a prize and then off to Martice's for the night!

The gang!

After we go the kids out of the water we walked around the park area, rode the train, & Maren wanted to get a feather extension well Brittley decided she wanted one too! I have to admit I hate them (well strongly dislike) so I was really trying to talk her out of it, but she decided she needed it....so here we are getting an extension! Brittley picked out an all pink feather with a fatter top so instead of lying flat it would stick out, so funny and cute. Well it made her happy so I am glad that I let her do it, even though I think it is very silly!

Before we left on the 17th I took pictures of the kids one last time. We had a lot of fun, but after doing a camp for 3 days & then being in Blackfoot for the rest of the week I was extremely tired, irritable, & worn out. It had been real, it had been fun, it had been real fun, but I was sooo ready to go home! Thanks for the memories & great week everyone!

We also had to get pictures with the trains for Tate's sake because of his crazy obsession with trains!
