Weekend Retreat

We were able to get away for the weekend and visit my grandparent's in Nampa, Idaho. We were even more excited to go because we got to bring our van and it has so much room in it for traveling.

We stopped in Twin Falls on the way and visited the Shoshone Falls (below)



The water level was pretty high. The boys loved it.

Grandpa took us to the Wahooz Fun Zone in Meridian, Idaho. We were excited to find out that Ethan was tall enough to be a passenger on the go-karts.

The go-karts were too loud for Logan, so Grandpa took him inside to play arcade games. Grandpa is 87 years old, but he is still as active as ever.


Ethan was a little unsure of the car at first.

Nick had already been staying at Grandpa's house for a few days and so he got to hang out with us.


Ethan loved every minute of riding in the go-kart. It was so cute!

Boys swimming in the pool at our hotel.

I didn't take pictures of the other things we did. We went and saw Shrek 4 at the theater, we went out to eat, went shopping, played games, went to church, and then Grandma made us a yummy roast beef dinner.

What a great retreat from normal life!

Looks like you had fun! We went and saw Avatar when we went to visit them and Addy was so good and sat throught the whole thing. A couple weeks later we were at ShopKo and she saw Avatar on one of their TV's and she said.."hey it's Avatar:)"

A lot of Dave's family is from Twin, so those pictures look familiar! And I think Dave has been to that place in Nampa. Hope you guys have fun this weekend, too!
