Idaho--'09

Before we headed up to the family reunion in Ashton, we spent a couple days at Becky's (Rob's sister) in Idaho Falls. I love I.F., but I especially love Becky. She is one of my favorite sister-in-laws and I just love to be around her. She even did a few of my runs with me and she rocked it!

The day before the reunion, some of the other family started showing up. The little girl cousins decided to put on a "Matson Idol." They even made metals for the winners. It was pretty funny. Even grandpa participated with his rendition of "Take Me Out to The Ballgame."

I love this guy! He is the best father-in-law in the world and he happens to be very funny too!

Ren was pretty proud of his second place win.

Sarah brought it home with her great-grandma impersonation.

The next day we headed up to Ashton where we stayed in this lodge. It totally exceeded my expectations!

I didn't take very many pictures for whatever lame reason, but the view from the back of the lodge was incredible!

On our way to the Lodge, we stopped by the cemetery where Rob's grandparents are buried. We took this picture of Ren and Rachel by the grave stone since they are both named after their great grandparents.

We told Ren that they named this town after him. He thought that was the coolest thing.


Uncle Randy holding Tait. He helped me out by lugging him around for me when while we hiked to the different falls.

The kids got to feed the fish down at the river near the Lodge. You can see the piece of bread in mid-air while Sarah is tossing it to Caleb.

We had such a great time at the family reunion and we miss all our family already! I wish I had taken more pictures!

I haven't had a good run since, and even trying makes me miss you. I wish we were neighbors again. Well, I hope you are enjoying being back home. I will be calling you before I send the package. love you

I can't believe you and Becky went running. That's so awesome. I'm glad that you were able to spend so much time with your family. That lodge in Island Park looks awesome! I bet it was a blast! Glad you got to fulfill your dream of going to Yellowstone Nat'l Park!
