Idaho-hanging out

One of the nice things about this vacation was being able to just sit around and hang out with family and let the kids run around and have fun. One of the favorite places for both Rachel and Annie was the trampoline. If the back door which was right next to the trampoline opened at all, Annie would start booking it toward the door, trying her darnedest to get to the trampoline before someone could stop her. Rachel loved jumping and bouncing Annie, or playing ring around the rosies with Jared, and occasionally, but not always, liked being bounced by a bigger kid. Annie loved being bounced and as soon as she was on the trampoline was happy as can be, crawling around, rolling like she does on our bed at home, her other favorite place to be.

Annie and Brooklyn, buddies hanging out on the kitchen floor:

Annie always loves swinging. Swinging with Grandma and Eloise is a bonus.

Annie had two teeth on the bottom when we were up there (with 4 on top coming through all together, but not quite through). She had figured out how to use those 2 teeth to her greatest advantage. One of her highly honed skills is being able to open many containers just by getting her teeth under the lid and prying it off. She managed to get her favorite snacks open one morning, and promptly proceeded to grab a good handful, knowing I'd close it right back up.

Such joy!
