The kids and I went to Idaho this summer... it was fun, we hit up Bear World, the fishing pond, the grandparents, Cafe Rio, and Pop even took us down the river!
Halloween has come and gone as well... imagine that. Despite the Jedi appearance in the picture, Tanner assembled a spy costume for himself, and Kate and Lydia went at lady bugs. We went to my friend's neighborhood and loaded up on more candy than Cory could eat...
We went to a really cute apple orchard down in Illinois... this is a picture of the best, and I mean BEST!!! apple pie I have ever eaten. I wish we had just bought a whole pie. Yum... I am not kidding. Like, I need a minute kind of yum.
For Christmas this year, we were supposed fly to Idaho on a Thursday, but thanks to "Winter Storm Draco" (when did we start naming those?) our flight was cancelled... but fortunately we were able to get out on Saturday! So in the mean time, Cory, Tanner, and Kate played in the snow and built a snowman. Unfortunately, our kind neighbor and his drunk friends have since peed on the poor snowman. So cool! But it was nice to have a few days to "stay"cation and regroup as a family.
When we finally got out, we were very excited! Everyone did great on the plane...
While in Idaho, someone had her first Christmas! This little girl is so dang cute!
Some other crazy kids got to go skiing...
