Idaho Summer 2009

We went to Idaho in July. Shelby, Coop and I drove up on our own ... and then Mike joined us later. Surprisingly, the drive wasn't too bad. The kids were great and we only added about 1/2 hour extra onto the drive (I'm not sure how I did that, since I was traveling with a 5-year-old and a nursing baby!!!).

My sister Amy and her family met us up there and it was a DeMucha cousin extravaganza. Since I'm WEEKS late at posting pictures from the trip, I'll just do a single post recap and then we can move on to life as it currently is (CRAZY).

We drove to Idaho, stopping in Flagstaff to see the Bruce/Navarro families.
We hung out on Papa's ranch.
We went to the pool in Lava Hot Springs ... it has a huge new side (like 40 feet long) that is perched over the main road in Lava.
We ate lots of yummy food, both out at restaurants and whipped up by Grandma Shelley (she's a very good cook)
We went to Idaho Falls and saw the Titanic exhibit at the Museum of Idaho.
We also walked on the river in IF and saw the falls -- quite beautiful
We went to Pocatello, ate lots of food and visited Grandma Pearl
Went to Pocatello and shopped at Fred Myer. We don't have those in AZ and NM, so Amy and I love going there when we're in town.
Went to Old Town Pocatello, saw the sites, visited a farmers market, and ate some more
Drove way too far (some where past Twin Falls, ID) to tour a dairy farm. Saw how cheese is made, pet some baby cows, ate cheese ... and drove back to Lava.
We went to Pocatello, ate lots of food and visited Grandma Pearl, again.
Hung out on my dad's porch, relaxed and enjoyed one of the best views int he world.
Went to the pool in Lava again.
Started driving home, stopped in Vegas, had dinner with Melissa and spent the night at her house.
Drove the rest of the way home.
