AND . . . We're Back!

We had such a fun week last week! Reed had to go out of town to Jerome for the majority of the week so the girls and I decided to tag along and go visit the heck out of my sister in Twin Falls. 

Overall, we had a blast swimming in the hotel pool as a family, and Alyson and the kids and I had fun running all over Twin Falls going to thrift stores and antique shops.  I even managed to get a hair cut while Alyson went shopping with all 5 kids! She's a saint!!  :) 

We ended our fun times in Twin by driving up to Idaho Falls to see another sister and her family up there.
We had a blast going to Sara's Candy Cottage and Rumbi's and getting to spend lots and lots more time with family. 
My sister's oldest son  just returned home from Argentina where he spent 2 years as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  He still had an incredible grasp of the English language, surprisingly, so not too much to tease him about there.  He did speak at an incredibly FAST speed which I'm thinking must be similar to the speed people in Argentina speak Spanish? No clue. 
Either way, we had such a fun week, even Reed who spent a large majority of it working or sleeping.  He told me he was glad that we came along. And I can tell you, the girls and I had so much fun.  Aftyn was sad anytime we left Alyson's house and when we left IF to come home for good, she cried because she wanted to stay and play more with all the cousins.  When asked, she probably had the most fun anytime she was "playing toys".  It's so fun to see her growing up and being able to appreciate cousins more and more.

*I know I promised pictures, but wouldn't you know I forgot my camera! I did however take pictures with our emergency cellphone.  I just have to find the cord and then I can download them all for you!*
