lots of cooking

At Grandma's house the kids love to have cookouts.  They love to cook their hot dogs, eat outside and then eat as many Smores as I let them.  They love having their cousins over and spending time together.  Michelle also invited us over to have a water splash day and make little pizza's.  The kids thought this was the best that they were able to flatten their dough and put whatever they wanted on it.  Any kid loves to play in flour!!

Playing in the water

In Idaho all we did was play. The kids loved all of the freedom and all of the room. Most of the days we went swimming in grandmas pool and when we weren't doing that the kids were out on the tramp.  Michelle also saw this on pinterest filling up a huge sheet of plastic with water that is taped on all sides and then sealing the hole.  The kids used it as a slip-slide, a tramp and anything else that looked fun.  Let's just say that my kids got lots of sun and fun.

They suckered Braxton into helping them

My kids and I were able to go to Idaho for a little while, and they enjoyed every moment of it.  Marshall adored baby Kaden and he always wanted to hold him.  Katie loved playing with all the girls.  Braxton was such a good sport and played with the girls and helping them, and when he couldn't take any more girls he went to the neighbors house (Thanks Erin!)
