After the Bluth Reunion in July, the boys and I drove with Grandpa and Grandma King back to Idaho. Curtis was at the peak of his busy summer and even though he missed us terribly while we were gone, it allowed him to focus 100% on his studies without feeling guilty that he was abandoning his family. So while he slaved away and lived practically 24/7 sitting in front of his laptop, the boys and I had ourselves a grand adventure.
We took the drive from New Mexico to Idaho in 2 days and had fun swimming in the hotel pool during our pit stop. It was Marco's first swim and really enjoyed it.
We enjoyed laid back evenings together sitting on the porch and eating Creamies, several afternoon walks into town to visit Grandpa at the bank and grab a sucker or 2 from his treat bowl, and a few delicious dinners out on the driveway.
One morning we headed into Logan, Utah with Grandma King to do some shopping and enjoy some play time on the beautiful Logan Temple grounds.
The boys love the Malad City Park that's across the street from Grandma and Grandpa. The park is right next to the library where we checked out several movies including all the Narnia videos. Nathan loves the Narnia movies and he was even allowed to stay up late and watch thee with Mommy and Tia Aubrey while we snacked on cookies and consumed an entire carton of ice cream.

One evening after Grandpa came home from work we loaded up and drove to Lave Hot Springs. The water is naturally heated and the facility is large and very family friendly. They have several different water slides for all ages. At first Nathan and Bracken were cautious and enjoyed watching other kids attempt the kiddie slides, but after some smooth talking on my part they decided to give'em a try and what do you know? They loved it! After his 10th slide Nathan, who didn't even need me to catch him at the end of the slide, popped out of the water and yelled "This is the best place EVER!"
Grandma and Grandpa's yard is beautiful and very fun to play in. One afternoon we took a walk through town and picked up some rubber band launch planes at the quaint drug store on Main Street. The boys spent the next 2 days playing with them.
On our last evening in Idaho we celebrated with woof'ems (roasted biscuit bowls filled with pie filling), a fun and yummy alternative to smores. Nathan downed at least 8 of these bad boys. Before heading into the house for bed we all laid on the trampoline, gazed at the stars, and a perfect ending to a perfect visit to Idaho.
