Birthday Party and Cottonwood

Our family has had a lot of fun in the last month. Shortly after Travis's Kindergarten Graduation we celebrated his birthday. He invited a few friends from his Kindergarten class. Unfortunately this year was super rainy for his party so we didn't get to go outside like we did last year. We did find things to keep up busy though. Travis had fun with all his friends.
















 

We also had the opportunity to take the kids to Cottonwood to visit my grandparents. It has been a very long time since I've been that way. It was time well spent. They were very pleased to see us as well. They told us that we are the first grandkids to make it out to see them. While we were out there we went day camping and went to the Convent and met some nuns. We got to see the high school where my mom grew up. We also made it out to Keuterville and went and got Ben a hat at the bar and grill there. It was really nice to spend time with my grandparents. Ben especially enjoyed snooping through the old photo album looking for blackmail on my mom. Here are some pictures from our trip.



















When we were up in Cottonwood my grandparents also took us to Kamiah so we could look at my Great Grandfathers old house. It was the first time I've been there since his funeral. It was really neat. A lot has changed, but some of it is just how I remember it. It is now a bed and breakfast. Ben and I hope to go back some day and stay in it.
