Idaho Photo Dump 3 (it's over!)

Annie and Ada.

Love this angle. Three tiny kids on tiny horses...Annie.

Lunch at Original Thai in Rexburg.

Ada went nuts on the shutter button, I have like thirty just like this. That's a shower curtain in the background but don't let that stop you from eating at the restaurant if you're in the area. So good.

Snow cones right before Annie had to leave :(

From Facebook regarding this picture:

Ada wanted to play "church" wherein we'd take turns at the music stand, announce a song, wave our arms and sing. It's worth watching if only for her enthusiastic bow at the end:

Bear World!

Corinne paid my ridiculous SIXTEEN DOLLAR ENTRY FEE which included access to the petting zoo. Best day ever:

That chicken was making horrific noises and Ada kept worriedly asking,"What's wrong with it??" Then she decided it was "broken" and lost interest.

Gator Jack's in Rigby. GO THERE. It was somehow my first time and the food was amazing, as was the alligator with the English saddle on its back.

Motherboy!!! The only way they could have been more matching is if Corinne adopted Joseph's hairdo.

And finally, this horse is listed for sale in the SE Idaho classifieds. Any takers?

SO MAD THIS IS BLURRY!

 

Ducklings in Cal Ranch.

St Anthony Sand Bar! This is the single best thing about my parents' town. They section off a piece of the river for swimming. There's also a slide, a diving board, a playground, and a rope swing.

Ada, working up the courage. She eventually did, and it was AWESOME. Somehow I got roped into doing all the catching at the bottom, though. (This picture is one of my favorites, if not THE favorite, from the entire trip.)

My mom and Annie riding at sunset.

Sandhill cranes.

We stopped on our way to Mesa Falls to feed the fish at Warm River.

The falls.

Pets must be leashed.

Headed to gymnastics!

Rare snuggling with Nana. Corinne was jealous.

I curled Corinne's hair. It was a masterpiece.

I curled Annie's hair, too. Work of art.

Tried curling my own hair. Got waves instead. They didn't last :( Am I doing this dark-rimmed glasses trend right?

Ada and Jem, my mom's new ride.

Jem does tricks:

(If you decided not to watch the video, you missed this.)

Aaaaaand why Ada had a sniffly nose and itchy eyes the entire time she was in Idaho in three...two...one...

Joseph at breakfast, right after my mom and Corinne picked me up from the airport (my first time meeting him!)

Ada unceremoniously covered Gunner with a baby blanket.

GORRRRRRGEOUSSSS 

Tipped over and didn't even make a sound.

St. Anthony Pioneer Day Parade!!

This was Joseph the entire time.

Candy raining into our laps.

Don't bite the baby!!!!!! jk I caught him yawning.

And again.

Then Annie was there!!!!!!! HOLY GREEN EYES, ANNIE.

There's still a shload more to come, but just one last thing for this post. I would be truly ungrateful if I didn't publicly tell you about how Ada was squawking at the dinner table and when an exasperated Corinne finally asked her what was up Ada exclaimed, "I got ice in my pants!"
