Chubby Chubbuk and A-Poky....

Idaho.....what a place huh? We had the pleasure of visiting the potato state this last weekend and I'm just thrilled. It's actually quite Utah-ish once you get past the lotto. Wish we had that here. I could use a couple million right now. R and D are there so I guess that more than makes up for what it lacks aesthetically. Those two are lookers, and that Ava, she's a cutey too. It's almost sad that this summer our vacationing has been in Poky. Next year we have some major work to redeem the beloved vacation. On our way up we stopped off at Tracy Aviary to let A mess with the birds. That kid can run, I'll tell you what (Hank Hill). He'd run from one bird cage to the next, "Mama, Dada, come here....wook....big birdie..." He liked all the birds except the Condors. He thought they would get out and eat him I guess. Peacocks are all over that place just walking around aimlessly. He wasn't too fond of them either, but did enjoy feeding the ducks. We had a fun time at the hotel in Poky. A could have swam all day long. He was hyper at the pool. All that energy trapped up from the long drive maybe...who knows. He'll forever think that the hotel is Pocatello though. When we got home he wanted the Pocatello with the pool....so sorry.

Beckster trying to keep those peepers open...

D did fantastic in hiding the tears when he blessed Ava. I couldn't even tell. I might have R punch him once just to see what a big guy crying is like. I'd do it myself, but he's bigger and I'm afraid he might be able to out run me as well. We saw what he could do in Payson with the police speed monitor thingy. All in all it was a super trip. Glad to have been there for that, even though we miss L and J more and more at each event.

I thought I'd just throw this one in too. This is how we carry all three kids in one double stroller. N and T hang out in the back together (pretty cozy huh?) and we stick A in the front. We love our nightly neighborhood walks. Anything that gets us out....sheesh.
