Danelle's Graduation & Travels to Idaho (June 2012)

In early June, Caitlin, Andrew and I hopped on Alaska Airlines and headed south to Idaho to visit my Mom, sister Danelle and brother Spencer. We were going to celebrate my littlest sister Danelle's High School Graduation!
All set with his Alaska Airlines airplane!
My older sister Tasha and her two boys - Brock and Bryce - also traveled from Lynden, Washington to join in on the fun! These kids have a LOT of energy. Andrew is 2, Bryce is 3, Caitlin is 4 and Brock is 6. The back yard worked well for a little while and then we headed out to explore!

And we found a very cool park! Complete with a motorcycle!! This is Andrew's vrooom face~
Watch me go!!!
Caitlin was very excited to see her Grandma Candi!
Brock's turn on the motorcycle~
My main man Bryce!
Caitlin enjoys the monkey bars at whichever park we go to!
Also anything to do with climbing!
Brock and Caitlin chilling on the ropes~

Uncle Spencer even showed up with his puppy! We also were able to meet Spencer's girl friend Maddie!Such a bummer, I didn't get one picture with her and Spencer together or anything! Next time I'll track her down ;) I know others got pictures too. . . .I may be back with an addition to this blog!
Can you believe they have a pretend boat too!?!?!

Learning to share :)
Look at these too cool kids! All grown up~
Marching along the wall - Coeur d'alene Lake
The weather was a little bit of a bummer - wet and windy. Fortunately we found this place called a Kroc Center! VERY COOL indoor pool - we went swimming with all four kids :) They also had an indoor fun house - complete with slides, climbing and forts. Lots of equipment to keep these kids entertained.
Kids liked the frog!
Showing me how it works!
Balancing on the log!
The Graduate - Auntie Danelle and her niece / nephews!
Two beauties!
This was a new dress for the party - Thank you Grandma Candi!!
Oh man I love this girl!! I miss you sweetie~
Yes - there is a weird side to us!!
We had a graduation party at my Mom's house and then the family went to the ceremony at the high school. Andrew, Bryce and I headed to the pool AGAIN!! These two little studs did great for me and listened so well.Good Times!!
One good lookin crew!!
My sister Tasha and I - thanks for joining in on the fun Tasha!
Grandma Candi even played some piano for Caitlin - I think we will have a little musical girl someday!!
Of course Andrew wanted in on the action!

Grandma Candi has quite a few cool parks around her place!
Look! The day before we headed home the sun started to come out!!!
Mastering the rock wall together!
It's amazing how quickly they grasp on to new things!
Down the fireman's pole!
And slide with Grandma!
What a great looking bunch!! Breakfast time~
Playing with Auntie Danelle at the park before she headed to school for her last day!!
Love you Danelle!!
Grandma and the Mandrew!
Of course we had to stop in the play area at SeaTac before heading home!!
The kids love this place!!
Fortunately with all the travel we do - we'll be back to play again soon!
My only complaint is that it smells like pee in there - but hey the kids don't mind!!
 Congratulations Danelle!! We are so proud of you and wish you many grand adventures in the future. What a great reason to come and see everyone. We look forward to seeing you all soon.
