Our trip to Idaho

Last week, we took a cross country trip to Idaho to see Aaron's grandma, "Nana Mae". 

We had a blast.  Katie couldn't have been more of an angel.  On the plane ride there, she was great & when we landed, before we got off the plane, she was asking "can we take another plane ride?"

Of course Nana Mae is in the spoiling business, and she's great at it.  Katie showed up to a basket of toys & loads of attention.... We were afraid she wouldn't want to come home... Good thing we had that plane ride back as bribery!

We spent most of the week playing games & filling her backyard with laughter,which are exactly the best things to do when visiting family.

I was in love with the picturesque backgrounds

But Katie was not so in love with my photo taking obsession, so we asked her to give us her grumpiest face...

Which of course led to the most beautiful smiles...

We didn't do a lot of planned activities, but we did go for a scenic drive one day & found a nice little park, where Katie loved feeding the ducks.

Then we went back the next day to go fishing.

Katie played in the sprinklers (Cause that green isn't natural in Boise :)

There was some reading

And some good old mud.

Katie stayed cool on the dock with a DIY tent

And she did manage to get around to actually fishing.

And I was still in love with the picturesque backgrounds!

We also took a little walk around an environmental learning center

All along the path, there were storybook pages to look at.

Now you're catching on... more picturesque backgrounds.  If you're wondering about the glasses, it was the only way Katie was interested in taking a picture.

Aside from the trips, there were popsicles to be had

and books to be read

And naps to be taken

and blueberries to be picked

flowers to be watered

And of course - everyone needs some Boise State style!

To finish it all off, we had Nana Mae's famous apple pie for breakfast! (Did I tell you she was good at the spoiling business?  That is ice cream... for breakfast!)

What a great trip!
