Short trip

We are heading up to Sacramento for three days. Christopher is enrolled in Baseball Camp with the River Cats again. We did this trip last year and enjoyed it. He starts at 8 o'clock in the morning and ends at noon Thursday and Friday. We found it easier to drive up the night before and not have to fight traffic and save gas because where we stay we can walk to the ball park and we also get to see a game Friday night so we stay one more night and come home Saturday.
Matthew enjoys the trip because we go over to old town Sacramento and see a lot of old history.
This trip hope to ride the old train and see a old replica of a boat like the pilgrims sailed over in.
The boat is to be docked at the river just across the hotel we are staying in next to the old Sacramento bridge.

Seeing more of Idaho

Saturday morning we headed up to see the Tetons



This is the lake we took a boat and crossed to hike the trail to see the Hiden Water fall.

We made it up to the Hidden Fall, the hike was worth it and not to hard a little hot at times. The mist from the Falls made the hottness not so bad.










Jennifer, RJ and Matthew posing under the big tree at the end of the trail near the Fall.




Matthew being a good uncle and sitting with his neice and nephew.



Does Savannah love her uncle?

The three all took a brake heading back down the trail, Savannah was a trouper and never complained



It was a fun day and we ended the day stoping at a great Mexican restrante in the town of Drigges Idaho good place to eat.

Fourth of July Vacation Idaho


We left smokey California July second we drove to Elko Nev. then the next morning we woke-up and had breakfeast at the casino then on the road we head to see Jennifer and family.I was a long car ride but worth seeing the grandkids run to meet us when we arrived at Jennifers home in Iona Idaho. Jennifer made us a good tasting steak salad for dinner. We waited until Jared return home from a office dinner meeting and the boys, RJ and Savannah got to play with fire cracker Jared helped them set in the front yard.







The next day was the fourth of July and Jennifer I and the children all went to the parade in Idaho Falls it was fun but a I had to find a piece of shade to stand under.



Sum of the entery I enjoyed.










This smilinf face is the cutes but I'm a proud grandma.





That after noon we spent the afternoon with family that is my sister Marilyn and her family came down from Ricksburg and we all hang out at Jennifer's and enjoyed dinner and played games before heading to the fourth July firer works in down town Idaho Falls next to the river.






Was some the best firer works I had ever seen and so many with no breaks between. Was a late night but every fun and Christopher got to go home with Marilyn and spend the vacation with his cousin Josh.
