Adventures in Idaho: Parade

After a few weeks of hangin @ home... it was time for my lil men & me to take another adventure... a BIG ADVENTURE! The Gardner Family Reunion... and I drove to IDAHO as a single mom... in Shawn's bosses Mercedes even! (Note: I did have help once I made it to St. George, so I am being a bit dramatic and the kids did quite well... but still quite an adventure!) Glenna rode with us all the way from St. George to Island Park, ID. Well, Glenna and I hurried on up to the big ID to catch the St. Anthony Pioneer Day Parade! I LOVE parades and this little town has such a fun parade... Ory LOVED it (especially the candy, balloons & chocolate milk... hence his excitement)

proof I was there


Next stop was Uncle Richard house... where the boys experienced many firsts (as did I):
Holding newborn kittens (I was seriously stressed he would squish one!)


Riding on a ranger (I think that's what it's called)


We spend a few days in Idaho Falls spending time with Shawn's Grandma Gardner who is just so sweet! I really enjoyed looking through old family photos and hearing family stories (did not enjoy my kids waking up in the night!)
Eventually, we headed up to the cabin in Island Park where Ory was reunited with his cousins! (well some of them)


Let the wild rumpus begin!
