Grandpa and Grandma Visit

Grandpa and Grandma from Illinois came to visit this past week and we had so much fun. It was great to be able to have them come on the fourth of July. They go on these long motorcycle rides all over the country and we are able to see them as they pass through Idaho.

We did lots of activities with them. The first day we spent together was the Fourth and we went to the Fireworks that night in Idaho Falls. They say that it is the biggest show west of the Mississippi and after seeing it this year (we hadn't seen them for quite a few years when we were visiting a long time ago) I believe it! It was incredibly entertaining and we enjoyed them so much. Very worth the hour it took us to get home.

The following day, we drove to Island Park and did the float down the river in canoes (our boat was a flat bottom). It was a beautiful day and we had so much fun. We also went to a fishing bridge that had the biggest fish!!! There was also a very old log cabin that was built and run by one man-very creative and fun to look at. He even built his own water wheel to run his own electricity. Other activities we did consisted of eating a lot of food, going to the movies, swimming for the kids at the hotel (one day for 4 hours!!!!) and going to eat Ice cream.

We enjoyed our visit with them. It is fun to have people come from out of town. It forces us to get out and do some things that we wouldn't usually do-especially in the outdoors. We love you Grandpa Craig and Grandma Sue! Thanks again for the fun weekend!!
