Idaho Falls

On July 9th I took the kids and went to Idaho Falls for 5 days. We went up to spend time with our cousins in IF and to be with my Grandma Nelson who just turned 90. We had a big week of celebrations in her honor. We did a lot of dinners with everyone. They had an open house for her and invited all of her friends and relatives to come and celebrate with her. We took a day and went to the Idaho Falls zoo. That's a big time zoo let me tell you! =) I'm being very sarcastic. But the kids did enjoy it. The highlight of the trip was doing a tea party with my grandma. She has always loved having tea parties with her granddaughters and great granddaughters. My aunts found a lady that hosts tea party's at her home. She provides the hats and accessories gives you a little edicut lesson and then serves tea and a light lunch. It was really fun to spend the day with everyone. Especially my grandma. She is a wonderful person, very kind, and loving. She has a special way of making all of her grand kids feel like they are her favorite. I hope to be a grandma just like her someday.
