Idaho Trippin'

Reed Family Reunion

Summer 2011

Rupert, Idaho

We went to Idaho a couple weeks ago and spent time with
Brett's side of the family..

Happy Birthday Amy-Lou!

Some of the cousins together. They seemed to enjoy each other.

Lovely me..

Ashlyn in her new hand-me-down robe. :)
We got lots of good clothes for the girlies.

Brett's Dad looks like he's having a great time! ;)

Isaac enjoyed pulling his boy cousins.
Such a good helper-kid.

After the reunion in Rupert, Idaho, it was time to head to Boise
to be with Grandma and Grandpa Hymas.
This is Sandy. Isaac shared his beloved Kitty with her.

Elizabeth enjoyed playing with cousin Bethany.
Two pretty princesses.

Isaac liked spending time with his cousins too.

Poor Martin had to deal with Elizabeth's envy of him..
Thanks for putting up with her, little guy.
He was an inspiration to Ashlyn though.
She's been wanting to walk ever since watching him do it so well.

Swimming time!
Elizabeth reminds me of like a 20's girl with her do.

Love her crossed legs!
She loved climbing on everything the whole trip.

Spending time with Grandma

Isaac relaxing with daddy's old games

Hee hee! Mud face!

These girls know how to get dirty!

Telling secrets already?

Spending time with Grandpa

Pretty flower, Beth!

Say cheese!

Grandma and Grandpa Reed and Amy.


Fro Baby!It was a fun trip! Nice to relax and enjoy family.
Thanks Mom and Dad Hymas for the good times!

One Way Out

This is awesome! So true!

Illinois Country

The kids were so excited to pack and get going to Grandma and Grandpa Peel's house.

Ashlyn made sure to not forget her brother and sister (both inside the suitcase).

This is the view I had the whole way.
Such a handsome back of the head.. :)

Isaac's happy face

All the kids were really good most of the way.
Ashlyn's thumbsucking. -Comes in quite handy.

Elizabeth.. she pretty much made up stories with her toys the whole time.

After getting to the grand ol' country we set off for Safety town.
At Safety Town they have lights and roadways the kids can ride their bikes on.
The best part about it -it's free.

Trying to ride the trike, but not quite getting it yet.

Pretty much the whole time we were there, Brett had to carry the Babe while Isaac rode.
I think they might have to get a little older to fully appreciate this place.
It was fun none-the-less though.

Isaac riding down the hill.. He kept stopping himself so he wouldn't go too fast.
Isn't that the point of going down a hill though? ;)

Miss model girl..

A handsome daddy with his big boy.

Silly kids!.. er.. man.

Aww.. I love them. ♥

The kids had so much fun with Grandma!

You just knew I was going to include this one, Mom, right? ;b
Look at how youthful that smile is.

Um.. this one's just weird.

Here's another big smile.

Fun crafts with Grandma.

Looks like a comfy spot..

Pose for us, brother Jonny.

What a kiddos.

Aww.. Michelle and baby Colten.
He's just the sweetest thing.

We went to the Peoria Zoo at the last hour they were open.
It was raining too.
But despite being rushed and wet, it was fun!

Ashlyn was showing us what was interesting to see.

Ooh.. tigers! My favorite!

And a turtle.. Daddy's favorite!
I love how Isaac's just hangin' over the fence.



Good family picture eh?
I look pretty sleek as a lion.

Playful prairie dogs.
Now the question is, which one's the prairie dog?

Stay tuned for part two..
