Idaho-the last of it all

We've finally reached the end of the endless pictures of Idaho. :)

The night before we headed back home we went up to my Aunt Sharyn's place. She has a beautiful house, and paints beautiful pictures. We enjoyed sitting out and enjoying the beautiful scenery, but one of the highlights for Rachel was helping Sharyn gather eggs from their chickens.

Doesn't she look excited?

We all went back to Grandpa Jolley's house and all the family in town came over for one last big dinner together. And, since Jared's birthday was just a couple weeks away we celebrated while we were there with him with a tasty cake and ice cream. Grandma even gave him his present, which the other kids promptly monopolized. I'm sure he'll get in plenty of play time at home, since he didn't get any that night. :)

Awwww. Cousin love:

Friday morning while we were getting ready to leave Rachel and Jared played house. Rachel was the mommy, Jared was the daddy, and Todd was the Rachel.

We squeezed in a few family pictures before we left:

Though the grandkid picture didn't quite work out...

While we were up there Grandpa Jolley got a few new toys, including one of those cool recliners that stands you all the way up, and this walker that has a seat on it. Rachel and Jared must think Grandpa Jolley has all the fun, since he gets to play with this walker all the time. :)

It sure was a fun trip. We're glad we were able to see a lot of family, though we missed the ones that weren't there. We're hoping to see everyone next year for a fun family reunion.
