Fun in Idaho


We are having so much fun in Idaho. There is nothing like being with family and being spoiled with attention and love. My kids are a shadow to anyone that will let them except me. Addie is totally my Dad's sidekick. He just might be the best grandpa in the world. In Rexburg there is a free Zumba class two nights a week that is very informal but still an amazing work out. Addie has been going with me and we are having a blast. She really knows how to shake her booty!! For some reason she couldn't remember if it was called zumba or jenga and it was pretty funny. Here we are in our work out attire!!

We went to the farmer's market that is held every Friday here in Rexburg and Addie and her cousin Zoe got rainbows painted on their faces. Quickly they became the rainbow sisters. All day Friday and saturday they were the rainbow sisters and when they saw each other on Sunday they both had sad faces as they each told the other that they had to wash it off for church. Later in the evening when someone mentioned the rainbow sisters they informed us they were not the rainbow sisters anymore because they had to wash it off but they were now the Lemonade girls (we had a fantastic lemonade stand a few days ago and have big plans for more in the future!!)

Cute rainbow sisters
We ate at Craigo's Pizza on Saturday and the Kids really were wishing Brian was here because " going out to eat with our family is our favorite thing to do" according to Addie.








Here goes the Lemonade stand


WE set up outside my Brother Tony's house and hundreds of College students walk by every hour. They could not resist the kids. They sold lemonade for only 25 cents but in about 45 minutes they had all ready made 12 dollars and that was on a Saturday. Imagine what it would be like as the hundreds walk by going to and from class. Pretty cool
It was pretty much teh sweetest thing I have ever seen. Callen was the salesman and would walk the sidewalks shouting, "Lemonade, fresh lemonade" as loud as he could. He was even bringing people in from across the street. Addie would always hold the cup steady and Zoe would always pour. They always asked if they wanted a piece of ice and then ended with, "Thank you! have a nice day!" The look on their face and the squeals in their voices when someone would approach was priceless.
Callen did his job very well and brought in a lot of customers. He would basically hunt them down on the side walk and stand ten feet in front of them and then yell about fresh lemonade. We all thought it was quite entertaining and they all had a blast.
