Idaho!

We took a trip to Southern Idaho to visit my Grandma. She will be 94 years old next month! My Mom and Sister flew to Salt Lake City, rented a car and drove down to Idaho. We decided to make the drive from Washington! There were a few reasons why. One reason is it cost about half as much... the other and probably biggest reason is that Ava ALWAYS gets sick when we fly anywhere! She gets ear infections in both her ears every time. We always find ourselves scrambling to find an emergency clinic while we are out of town. We decided we could avoid the busy airport and yucky germs if we just drove. We left on Friday night at about 8:30pm. We drove all night in shifts and Ava and Reese slept all night! They woke up at about 6am. The remaining 6 hours of drive time was a little crazy with potty stops for Ava, and eating time for Reese. We made it though! On the way home we left a few hours earlier at about 7pm. That made it much easier. We ended up getting home the next morning at 9am! Woohoo!!

It was so fun to see my Grandma. She had not met Ava or Reese yet. It has been 3 years since I have seen her. She is so sweet! Ava and Reese had a great time. Ava kept everyone busy, as always with her crazy energy! She never stops. I got SO many pictures of my Grandma and Reese, but only a few of Ava with Grandma. She wouldn't stop long enough for a picture! Thankfully my sister was there to keep Ava busy. Ava loves her Aunt Na (Anna). Aunt Na took her on lots of walks and managed to wear her out a few times! My Grandma had fun with her Great Grandkids! Reese is the youngest one she has. We took a TON of pictures!

We also got to see my Aunt and cousins for a few hours. They drove up from Salt Lake City while we were there. I havent seen them in 8 or 9 years, so it was great to catch up!! :)
