Trip to Ephraim

David's sister who lives in Idaho was spending a week at Grandma Bailey's house with her kids and since David was so swamped with work, we decided to go down for a few days and play with the cousins.  We live next door to David's brother and his wife, Nicole.  So Nicole and I packed up our kids and made the trek down to Ephraim to play for a short weekend.  It was so much fun and great to see everyone!
It rained right after we got there, and the kids had lots of fun playing in the puddles on the porch.  Brigham was getting some pretty good air before he slipped and fell.  Poor little guy!




One of Isabel's cousins who is a few years older than her was so cute with all the girls.  They would have "girl parties" and go in the bathroom and put on the play makeup.  They were so adorable and the girls were all so excited to be wearing makeup.  It was hilarious, because they would come out of the bathroom looking VERY done up and they thought they were princesses.  I am glad I don't have to worry about her wearing makeup full time for quite a few years, we have lots to learn about the "less is more" rule of thumb with makeup:)

We took a picnic to Palisades and went swimming for a few hours.  It was so nice because it was so hot that the water felt nice.  The kids could have stayed all day long they were having so much fun.

Brigham spent the whole time just playing in the sand.  He would wade into the water up to his bum and throw sand and then come back out.  He did try to walk out to Aunt Rachel who was a ways out and we barely got to him before he went under.  It is scary how fast those kids can get away from you!

The kids had popsicles out in Grandma's back yard and they were loving life.  We always sleep good at Grandmas cause we get so tuckered out.  We went out for pizza one night and my little brother who just moved to Ephraim for Snow College came and met us.  It was hilarious because David's mom and sister met him and then immediately started brainstorming of who of Rachel's friends they could set him up with.  They called a friend right up and asked her to come down and introduced the two to each other, it was great!!!  Caleb was a good sport about it and has actually become friends with the girl, so that is nice, huh?
