Idaho Getaway

For the first time in forever (name that movie) we have been able to go on a long weekend getaway. We were so excited when we saw this opportunity arise we knew we would have to do SOMETHING. We decided a quick trip to Idaho would be perfect.

We left the morning of February 18th to drive up to Idaho. Everything went smoothly with the drive except one small bump in the rode with our flat tire light came on in the middle of no where, just our luck. We found a small little gas station 20 miles up the road, placed air in the tires and were good the rest of the trip.

We then drove straight to Zachary's Grandparents place and had a good talk session, Zachary's oldest sister was also there visiting so it made it a special little time. We went out and ate dinner together after before Zachary and I ran off to the next persons house, after all this was a quick little trip.

We spend the night at my oldest brothers house with his small little family. It was great to be able to talk to him and his wife and just get to know them that much more. Andie was excited to spend a sleepover with her cousin but was a little to scared come night times to actually sleep in her cousins room. It was a good test run each night though.

The next morning was Sunday and we went to my brothers ward, we loved it! Jake told his nursery leaders when they asked his name that it was "Jakey" you can tell what his family calls him haha. The ward was so family friendly with so many young kids, we felt so at home. I hope to be in a ward like this one day when we have a house of our own years down the road.

My brother and sister that are away at college but nearby came for dinner while we were up visiting and it was so great to be able to spend time with 4 of us siblings for that short little time. We even made a little drive to see my oldest brothers work place, it is always so neat to see where my siblings are in their lives and I am so proud of every one of them.

We stayed up late talking and of course even had a movie night with popcorn, juice and watching Baymax (Big Hero 6). Jake burned his hand on the fireplace getting the tips of his fingers, he wasn't impressed but hid it the whole movie from all the pain he was feeling.

It is always so fun to take a little sanity getaway and we can't wait to do it again. The next morning we left around noon to drive home without rushing things as we had school and work to go back to the next day. Once we were back in Utah we made a little pit stop for some ice cream and burn off some energy from sitting in the car all afternoon by playing on a playground. We had such a fun weekend!
