Trip to Poppy and Lisa's House!!

We finally made the trip up to my dad(Jett calls him poppy) and Lisa's house! I was a little nervous because Jon had to stay and work so I was alone with the kids in the car, but they did really good for the most part! We had a lot of fun, Jett is pretty much obsessed with poppy. It was nice to have a break from cooking and cleaning as well. Haha dad and Lisa just let me take a break, it was great:) The first night we got there we went to an Elk farm, Lisa's friend was nice enough to let us come pet the elk. Jett really enjoyed it! Jett has been dying to go fishing, don't ask me where he got this idea??? It is in his blood I guess. So of course I wanted the best fisherman I know to be the one to take him. So the next morning we went to a little park area in Rexburg and Jett caught 3 fish, I even caught one. It was a lot of fun. Thanks for the fishing pole Max.:) On our way home from fishing we stopped at bear world. Jett loved that as well, it was a lot of fun to see the bears and the albino elk..weird!! We also just hung out, rode bikes and trikes, played whiffle ball, and laughed!! It was really nice to go up and visit my dad and Lisa, thanks again for letting us come up, we had so much fun and Jett is still talking about it as I am typing. Haha!! I really love Idaho and forgot just how much I love and miss it! I wanna move back up there...soon!!!!! It is a great place to be!

Jetts a slugger, he broke the whiffle ball in half a couple times! I got video of it but I couldn't get it to download.

The baby bears at Bear World, sooooo cute!!!








Jaiden just chilling, this is what she did most the time...and slept a little:)






Jett's goldfish he caught, the first fish he caught was a perch and they can poke ya I guess so he couldn't hold that one, but he was thrilled that he got to hold this one. He caught these fish all by himself..with a little help from grandpa. I was impressed!!!











The Perch



















Lisa and Jett feeding the ducks. I love Lisa, I think she is awesome!! And she is hilarious, I was dying, she makes me laugh!! I am glad my dad has her:)







This is the elk farm, they have a whole bunch, not sure how many. They were kinda skinny looking elk I thought. Maybe just because they are domesticated...who knows. It was cool to see them up close like this though!!




The bulls










The cows and their babies. I think this was the first time I have ever seen a baby elk. I didn't know they had spots on them like baby deer...so cute!!!




Jett and poppy riding bikes, and trikes:)


Practicing fishing..haha Jett was getting tired.

The Camper!!

So I think I finally got Jon to come around on my camping..well my being outdoors...obsession. He went and bought a camper for his truck! It is really exciting! I LOVE to be outside and could probably live out there, haha:) Jon , not so much, he kinda likes to shower and be normal. However he does like to go camping as long as he can sleep inside, I told him after he bought this that I will most definitely need a tent to sleep in :D. We are all really excited about it, Jett included, it will be fun to have. I credit my love of the outdoors to my dad, I cherish and remember all the great things that my dad did with me outdoors growing up, some of my greatest memories! I also love to go to the Ranch with mom and Max. So thanks to all of my "parents" for sharing the experiences with me and now I hope I will do the same for my children!! I love you all:)
