Our trip to Idaho

My cousin Ashlee was getting married so we made the drive over to Idaho to be there. We got a later start than I was hoping (thanks to meetings Josh had to be at and our dryer being crappy) but we did okay. We left about the same time Bryan's family did, so it wasn't too bad. Grandma locked the door on us, so when we got to Nampa at about 6am, we just kept on going to Jerome. We got there, got to see everyone and then headed out to Crystal's softball game. Josh had to study and Cole was being grouchy so they stayed in the car, but Crystal and her team did FANTASTIC! Seriously, I wish I would have gotten pictures of it! They played great and won! After that, we grabbed some lunch and then headed back to the house to set up things for the rehearsal dinner. We got stuff put together and then headed to check into our room and get showered and cleaned up. When we got back, the food was going and smelled SOOOO good, so we turned the kids loose to play. Minus a little rain, the evening was really nice and we all had a lot of fun!
So the next morning we got up and got people showered and ready. Jenn and I left the kids with the dads and headed over to the wedding site to see if we could help get some stuff done. Everything got set up and looked great so we headed back to the rooms with just about an hour to get ready. I still hadn't showered yet so we had to hurry to get everyone ready. It all worked out though and we weren't even late for the wedding! The ceremony was beautiful and of course the food was delicious! After some dancing and even more food, we all headed back to get the kids to bed, it had been a pretty long day for them. After the kids were down, Bryan, Jessica, Jenn and I went to meet up with Jeff, Teresa and Mitchell. There weren't many places to hang out in Hagerman so we went with the Angler Inn and Lounge. There were some pretty interesting locals there which made for a LOT of laughing and we played alot of shuffle board. We also sort of took control of the jukebox and I think Jenn and Jessica were trying to get us in fight by playing Barry Manillow, Chicago and Rocky Horror Picture Show. Now I'm not against ANY of that music, I actually like it ALOT, but these people didn't really seem like the crowd that would embrace it. Lucky for us we just sang at the top of our lungs and everyone seemed to let us be. We stayed up way to late and laughed WAY too hard, but we had a really good time.
The next morning Josh got up and got us all donuts, bananas, OJ and chocolate milk for breakfast. It was SO good and a good way to start the day. So we got everything all packed up and headed back to where the grandparents, Mitchell and Teresa were staying. We got to visit for a few mins before we all had to head our separate ways. We went by the waterfalls to take some pictures and then headed back to Nampa. Once we got there, we got to enjoy MORE tacos and taquitos before getting back on the road. I don't know why but it seemed to take TWICE as long to get home as it did to get there. We also stopped at a rest stop that Josh told Ryan to NOT wash his hands because they would actually be CLEANER if he didn't. Needless to say, we won't be stopping at that rest stop EVER again. Also the town of Pendleton and especially the DQ there are dead to me. Outside of those things the trip home was long but not bad. So I think you are all caught up on our trip! :-) I'll try to be better about posting now that I am home again! :-)
