Idaho...

Normally not much happens when we go to Rexburg to visit my sister. We always have a great time and the kids have so much fun playing with their cousins, but this time there were a few interesting moments. Read on.......

Don't they look like angels? Well let me tell you what these 2 did the first day we there. My sister and I had to go pick up my 12 year old nephew from baseball practice and did not want to take all the kids. Lori asked her 10 year old daughter, Ashlynn, to watch Jason and Avree (who don't really need much watching) and Ayla and Andie while we ran to pick up Nathan. We left at 4:50 to pick him up at 5:00, well practice ran late and he didn't get in the car until 5:15. Right as we are leaving the ball field we get a call from Ashlynn saying she can't find Ayla and Andie and the front door was open! We start freaking out obviously and call the neighbors to start looking for two wandering 2 year olds. We start speeding home and just as we pull into my sisters neighborhood we finally get a call saying they had been found. Apparantely they had put their shoes on (both on the wrong feet) opened the door and started walking down the street. They made it about 6 houses down and were heading into a field behind someone's house when a neighbor girl spotted them! When asked what they were doing, Ayla replied that they were looking for their "mudders" (mother's, for those of you who don't speak 2 year old). Ayla did tell us that they did not go in the street they stayed on the side walk so at least they were careful! I couldn't stop shaking for a good hour afterward, but since have laughed about it. Moral of the story: all babysitters are warned over and over that Andie can and will open the door and walk out of it by herself or with an accomplice! That was adventure #1. Adventure #2 was Bear World.

While we had a great time seeing the animals and riding rides, by far the best part about Bear World was this pot-belly pig. The end of this video is the best so keep watching.

I really haven't laughed that hard in a while! Among other things, we baked 4 loaves of bread, 1 batch of cinnamon rolls, saw Up (which I loved!), ate at Bajio every other day and drank about 6 Cocoa Bean drinks. We had such a good time, we are heading back up in 2 weeks.
