Idaho road trip!

We had our very first road trip with BOTH boys this weekend.  It was very short..we left on Friday morning and came home today, but it was fun none the less.  Amanda's hubby, Chad, is from hick-vill (Murtaugh) and so we went down for their reception.  It was a lot of fun for me to go back to Idaho.  As a kid, I went to Declo (pop. 338) every summer for a week and I have a lot of fun memories from there.  In the short time that we visited, we had a family bbq, took a memory drive through Declo, got to tour the Twin Falls temple, went to a reception where we visited with old friends (it was great to see you Meg!), went to the Snake River canyon and visited Chad's family dairy...
Tracen is out for the count...he is such a good boy on the road, he either sleeps or watches his "shows"!
Logan was awake a lot in the car, not a bad traveler, but definitely not easy. Maybe he'll get better with age : )
We got to visit the baby cows...this one we named "Otis" after our favorite character on "Barnyard."  The baby cows love to suck on your fingers, it is so weird feeling.  Their little tongues feel like sand paper.  Tracen wasn't loving the cows though.
Uncle chad took Tracen on a 4-wheeler ride!  We really got to experience the country.  

Oh yes, and I also finished reading a book that I started on Thursday, a definite must for those of you who haven't read it...The Wednesday Letters by Jason Wright.

How fun. I always like to visit the country but not stay. I can't believe how much Logan looks like Chris in that picture. I miss seeing your boys all the time.

That sounds like lots of fun! Amanda looked so beautiful at the reception that was held here. It was great to visit with you guys too!
