Fun in Idaho!

Matthew, Jase & I have been trying to get up to Idaho since Christmas and we finally got it worked out. It was so much fun! We left on Friday afternoon and got there before dark (which rarely happens!). Jase did okay on the way up there. The first time we took him up he was very good and he didn't get upset until we got off the highway into Twin Falls but this time he was upset a good half of the way there. Poor guy woke up with a cold that morning (and this right after he just cut his 4th tooth) so he was not happy with sitting in the car for almost 4 hours. He was a trooper though and after mama sat in back with him for a while he fell asleep. Saturday morning Matthew & his dad got up early to go shoot some cans (I won't allow him to say that he's really going out to shoot rabbits) but there were none to be found :< He still had a great time though! Once they got home, Carolyn and I went out for a girls afternoon! We had lunch and went shopping! That night we visited Carolyn's work-the museum-and got to look at their new Mammoth display. It was huge! We also went down to see the snakes and Matthew attempted to hold one but after he and Carolyn tensed over how to get a hold of it and it snapped at Matthew (it was just a teeny little thing) they decided to give up on that idea. Sunday morning we had a traditional at the cabin huge breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage & some french toast! Matthew and I took turns napping while Dave, Carolyn & Grandpa Hall went to Church. Then we had a steak BBQ. Jase played outside on the grass. He wasn't so sure about it and wouldn't let his hands touch it for too long but he loves being outside so I'm sure he'll get used to it soon enough! Then we went for a nice walk along the bridge and drove around looking at their dream house neighborhoods. Monday morning we had orange rolls...my favorite (normally a holiday) breakfast with them. Matthew, Dave & I went to Sportsmans where Matthew picked out his early Bday gift. After going out for lunch, we left at about 1:15 and Jase slept 3/4's of the way! It was so much fun to have some one on one time with them. It NEVER happens and it is our goal to make it happen more and more often! We love you guys!!!!!
