Our Trip Back Home

As good as it was to be with our families back in Idaho and Utah, it sure is nice to be home. We had such a great time with everyone. We flew into Utah and Doug's mom picked us up at the airport and drove us 2 hours to her BEAUTIFUL home in Preston, ID. Her house is about 4 or 5 miles up Cub River Canyon...let me just say, gorgeous! It's tucked back up on the mountain with a wonderful view of the other side of the canyon! When you are at their house, you are truely on vacation. Everything is at least a half hour away...Preston and Logan! Doug's dad spends most of his days working in the yard or in their garden. Right now he is currently working on a waterfall in the backyard. It is going to be awesome! This picture shows their beautiful house and it is just as pretty inside as it is outside.

Drew had such a blast there. He learned to say the word "kitty." Doug's parents have a stray cat that has adopted them. Drew and Dennie (Doug's dad) feed that kitty every day, and Drew just loved that.

The greatest way to get around inside that canyon...four wheelers! We had such a great time riding those that we decided to give Drew a chance. He loved it until he saw someone and then would cry! What a goon!

Now, the best part was his parents Jaquzzi tub! It's jets are air jets and they feel so good. We put Drew in it one night, but had to take him out right after because he was so scared. The tub is so deep and wide that it was like he was sitting in a pool. In order to get Drew to sit in it, Doug had to sit in there with him. So Doug put on a swim trunks and got in the tub. And as you can see by the picture, Drew loved it as much as we did!

Now for our trip to Utah! Doug and my dad went golfing one of the days and so my mom and I took Drew to the Hogle Zoo! They have this white aligator there, so cool! We saw lots of animals and watched the bird show. Drew had such a blast, all he kept saying was, "Cool! Wow!"

When Drew saw the birds, he went nuts! He couldn't stop smiling! He would laugh and clap when the birds would fly by, he was so excited to be there!

We did so much stuff while we were away that it's so hard to say everything. And even though this blog is long, it's not near as long as it could be!! Drew played with my mom in the fountains at the Gateway, we went bowling, Drew played with my cousins (The one in the picture is Tanner, he is 4), rode a small bike, rode a scooter with my dad, and played in the mountains. We had so much fun. Thank you everybody for making this trip so great! We can't wait to see you again in August!
