More family fun!

We spent last week in Idaho visiting Russ' family. There was quite a crowd! We all had a really good time, so I thought we would share some of our adventures with our fans!

The Family
Russ and Evie

Tara pushing Evie's stroller at the Tautphus Park Zoo. Unfortunately, just after this, Tara started puking so I took her and Evie home for the rest of the day. It wouldn't be a trip to Grandma's without one of the girls getting sick.
Sydney pushing Andy and Ben around the zoo
Sydney helping Chase splash around in a puddle of water at the zoo
Sydney got to help the zoo-keeper feed the pelicans. She had a wonderful time and I hear it was quite a show!
After the zoo, they hit the rides. Sydney was brave and even went on the "Octopus" with Russ. That really surprised everyone! She claims she wants to go on it again.
Sydney wasn't too thrilled when Grandma made it rock back and forth, but she had fun on the Ferris wheel.

Another day's adventures: We went to Rexburg and the kids played in the splash park. Tara still wasn't feeling well, so she didn't want to get wet, but Sydney was as soaked as could be!

After the splash park we went to BIG JUDDS for lunch/dinner. Sydney was blown away with how big the hamburgers were! And yes, she is wearing a halo. She had wings on too but took them off before Russ took this picture. Strange girl! (bty, Sydney ate about 1/8 of the burger.)

Evie, Andy, and Ben at the splash park. It got a little crowded, and Andy kept whacking Evie and Ben, so this arrangement didn't last too long, but it was pretty funny.

Uncle Dave brought some fun parachute-fireworks. Sydney and Tara had a great time chasing them down.

If there was ever an "Idaho Vacation" where you see all the sights and do all the big-name things, this is it! Isn't that splash park nice? I wish ours was like that :)
