After spending a week in Utah the kids and I headed up to Idaho to see Grandma and Grandpa and all our Idaho cousins. (I missed a few things we did in Utah, but I'll back track later). Anyway, we headed North and spent a few days playing and playing. When we get to Grandma's the kids disappear and we only see them when they are hungry or in need of something. We had not seen any of our Idaho Family for 2 years. The last time Noah and Zoey were together neither of them were 1 yet. This time they had fun playing together. Zoey is perfectly cute and sassy and looks just like Katrina.
Mom and Dad Empey celebrated their 45 wedding anniversary while we were there. The kids (and the Mama's) decided that we would make them a romantic Candlelight dinner. The kids were the servers and I think everyone, especially Mom and Dad really loved the evening. Kayla took pictures of each of the kids as they served, but I didn't get copies.
Before we arrived most of the family had gathered and gone out to a place called Stedmans Ranch. It was a huge hit and so while we were there, we decided to go again. Stedmans Ranch, is just that a Ranch. The people who live there, turned there massive yard into these huge water slides. They even provide tubes and all they ask is for you to make an appointment and a donation in return. It wasn't the nicest day, but boy did the kids have fun! Grandma and Grandpa did too and were up and down the slides almost as much as the kids. Noah was a little skeptical and even though I convinced him to go down with me he would say he was done after each time and I would have to talk him into it again!
Our final activity besides the sleeping out in the backyard and all the playing at Grandma's house was a trip to Ross Park. They have a great pool and although the skies were threatening thunderstorms the kids again had a great time! Once we got there I hardly saw any of them until it was time to head back to Grandma's!
