Kelley and Tyler's Visit

We all agree that one of the very best things about living in Idaho, is the much anticipated and awaited visit from an aunt, an uncle, a Grandma, Grandpa, cousins, or good friends. Kelley (my youngest sister) and her boyfriend, Tyler, spent five fun days with us a few weeks ago. Quadruple solitaire and Uno attack filled the downtime, but we did all kinds of fun things!

We hiked to the top of "Table Rock" - about three miles - all uphill of course! While I might have been the only one breathing heavily and stopping to "enjoy the view" (it was beautiful, but also a great excuse to catch my breath), what an awesome feeling it was to reach the top and be able to say that I did it!! The best part was accomplishing it with my family and Kelley and Tyler.

Here we are at the top.....

Kelley is one of those "cool aunts" who get right into the fun with the kids! A slip n' slide given to the kids by Kelley and Tyler was another highlight of their visit.

Tyler and Aubrey had a contest as to who could slide the furthest off the end of the slip n' slide! Here Aubrey is making it to Tyler's "mark." Aubrey claims she won the contest....

but Tyler isn't here to defend himself...

One of the days was spent at the zoo - the penguins are so much fun!

By the end of the trip, Jackson insisted on dressing exactly like Tyler - from head to toe. Throwing rocks together into the canal at the park was one of Jack's favorite times with him.

It is always so wonderful to spend time with my family who we miss so very much. The visits are always so memorable and full of quality time that perhaps wouldn't be spent otherwise. Love you Kells (and Ty too!!)
