On Saturday my dad and I rode up to Pocatello with my sister Erin and her three kids. The first day there Erin and I met up with my aunt Heidi and went to our favorite store Costco and visited with my Grandma Helmandollar who I also haven't seen since Emily's wedding almost a year ago. I stayed in a hotel room with Erin and her kids and Bryce and Cade were so excited. They were jumping all over the place and going crazy because they love staying in "hoentels."
Sunday we went to church with my grandparents then went back to their house and Emily, David, and my mom showed up. Later on we met up with my family and caught up on all the years that had past. If we didn't have social media I probably wouldn't even know what most of them look like. We are so fortunate this day in age to be able to follow each other's lives through the internet. Most of my cousins now are married with kids.
My grandparents are just the sweetest. They loved that everyone could get together and were just shocked with made it happen. I loved seeing how happy they were.
We finally have an updated picture of almost all of the grandchildren together. We were missing a few but most of us were there and we are definitely way more grown up in this one than in the last. It's crazy that a majority has kids of their own now.
On Sunday night Emily and David came back to the hotel with us to go swimming. This was the first
time Harper had been swimming and we put her in a swimming suit and she was the cutest little thing I have ever seen! (There's a Full House quote for you). The next day we all got up and met up with mom's sisters and went shopping and to lunch and got caught up with them.
I can't think of a better way to spend my Labor day then in Idaho with my family. I wish I could find time to make it out there more often.
