On Saturday afternoon, Jake's sister took us to an old fashion soda shop and we had a "world famous" huckleberry milkshake (the chocolate oreo was better) and Isaac loved it! The straws were huge....
After the non-stop excitment last week with Grace's eye (it was some sort of bug bite and she could open her eye by Tuesday afternoon), we had some actual fun at the Ellis Family Reunion. It was a beautiful weekend in Idaho, the condos were fabulous, and we couldn't have had better company! On Saturday we were able to go to the farm Tom moved to when he was 14. I think it was probably the highlight of the trip. Since it is a land trust now, we were able to walk around the house and the land. That night when we were saying our prayers Grace said the thing she was most grateful for was walking in the tall grass. It was wonderful to spend time with the cousins and family we don't get to see too often. There were no major problems. Grace fell in the small, but rushing, river only once and we take that as a blessing. Isaac spent the majority of his time in Grandpa's arms. They both slept thru the night, thanks to Jake who slept on the couch to keep his snoring muffled. Ahhhh, that is love. I was sad to see it end so quickly. Thanks to all those who made the trip so successful!
