Weekend Trip to Idaho

First off, I apologize again for the tardiness of this post...but I posted lots of pix for you to make up for it! :)

We headed off last weekend (June 9-10) to Idaho to help celebrate my Great Grandpa's 90th Birthday. Here's what happened....

We got into town Friday night and headed off the next morning we were off to Grandpa's Birthday party.

Happy 90th Birthday Grandpa!

Here's a 5 generation shot...of course, I managed not to be looking at the camera...oh well!

The Birthday Boy! And no, that's not me next to him (I wish). That's my gorgeous baby sister, Melissa. Don't hate her because she's beautiful people, but feel free to resent her. :P

Here's Bree in her party dress and looking sullen about it. :)

While we were in town, and since Bree's actual birthday was only a week away, we went ahead and celebrated her birthday the next day as well. More on that though in the next post....

In between everything else we even managed to squeeze in a visit to some old friends. Here's me and the wife of one of Trav's best high school buddies comparing bellies. She's due only a week after me!

Then it was on the road again....

Check out those mountains! These are the Sawtooths in Idaho.

We took our time on the way home, making lots of stops to enjoy the scenery. Here Brianna insisted on taking a break to pick some wildflowers. Can't blame her, they are pretty.

We saw A LOT of wildlife on the way home...this was one of our first sightings though. I guess when they post those deer crossing signs they really mean it! Good thing we spotted this one and were safely pulled off the side of the road when it decided to dash across the highway.

Just on the other side of the Idaho-Montana divide we spotted these guys. They're mountain goats! This was the first time I've actually seen them in the wild like this. Pretty neat...

About 20 minutes before we finally drove into our own driveway we spotted this guy...a buck with his horns in velvet. Actually, he was with a buddy, there were two of them, just standing there by the side of the road. So, this was our last stop along the way before we chugged into our garage, unloaded the car as fast as we could and passed out.

It was fun and crazy as usual...and definitely our last long road trip before the new baby arrives!
