Ricky, Eden, Lincoln and Logan came to visit us for the month of July to escape the terrible Phoenix heat. We had a nice long visit with them, the boys got to do a ton of fun things and Ricky and Eden even got to get away to Denver for a week. We had a great time having you all here, and Mom and Dad say that the house is very lonely and quiet without the boys there now.
I took a bunch of pictures on my cell phone, but I'm sure Eden's blog will have more pictures at a much higher quality, so I would check over there soon for better updates.
Grandpa Tutu and Logan watching the sunset on the patio. The boys loved to eat outside on the patio and throw treats over the railing to the dogs anxiously waiting below.
Lincoln chilling out on the patio after a long hard day. Notice the spray bottles? Mom filled these up with water and the boys had a lot of fun squirting each other with them on hot days.
This is Lincoln chasing after Freckles, who was retreating under my bed. Both Logan and Lincoln had a lot of fun with Freckles, and they were constantly trying to play with him. Freckles was a pretty good sport, but there were a few times we had to lock him up in my room... I'm not sure if it was for his safety or for the boys safety though hahaha.
Another fun thing that we did was to go to Pocatello's "Pioneer Day" celebration. Its a fair with lots of treats and activities for kids and live music too. They also have this tradition of doing "Mutton Busting" which is where kids under 8 get strapped up with a helmet and other protective gear while they try to hang on to a full size sheep that is bucking like a bronco. Its actually pretty cool, and those sheep are very big up close. Lincoln was brave and he got to do it 3 times! We were all proud of him.
Sometimes Logan would make these funny faces and hold them for a really realllllly long time. This was a face he made at Texas Roadhouse after jumping up and surprising that girl in the booth behind up. She screamed a little bit, and we all started laughing. Once Logan saw that we were laughing at what he had done, he made this face and just kept making it for like 5 minutes. It was too funny. We even had time to snap this awesome picture.
Lincoln doing play dough karate chops with Matt.
Logan doing coloring up in the loft.
Logan "sleeping".....
Having a picnic at the Museum of Clean. I love Lincoln's silly face in this one.
And, last but not least, the Train Game! We used to play this all the time and it was dang fun to bust it out again after so long. Nothing has changed though, Eden still kicked butt.
Thank you all for a fun visit and we miss you!
