Trip to Pocotello

This past weekend, we went to Pocotello, ID to visit, Ivan's younger brother, Eric and Jill and their daughter Ayden (1 year older than Allison). We didn't have any big plans, except to hang out and have fun.
Pocotello is 2.5 hours away and I was nervous about the drive with Allison, it was her longest drive by far, but she did wonderfully. Ivan sat in back with her and she giggled and bonded with her daddy.

On Saturday morning, the boys went off to play flag football and the girls followed and were cheerleaders. But after a serious case of the "drop-sees" from the boys, giggles from Jill and I, and cold breezes, we took the girls home. Later that day, we drove around Pocotello and neighbor city, Inkom to enjoy the rolling hills. Then, the highlight of the trip, making a Cafe Rio burrito dinner. We had the pork, yummy rice, and the best green sauce - it was great!
Then, Sunday was chuch and the return home. Thanks to Jill and Eric for their hospitality. We can't wait to visit again....Allison and Ayden did finger painting on Saturday. Ayden tried to show Allison, but Allison had no interest in painting on paper, she just wanted to color her body and eat the paint.

Afterward, the girls were in NEED of a bath. The highlight for Allison was the wooden spoon, she stirred up the bathtub.

I know how scary those car trips can be to Idaho. You're lucky Allison did so well. Kate doesn't like the long trips at all but it doesn't stop us from makin' the drive. Happy to hear all went well.
