{swimmin in Sun Valley}

and saving the best for last...and, NO, these are not leather pants! Dad decided to get in the pool with his jeans on.
Believe me, these photos will be a blackmail-worthy when it comes to Dad's 60th birthday!

{on the way to Sun Valley}

It took a few vans to get us all up to Sun Valley.  Isabella and I were in the minivan with Camille & Holland and Ashley, McKay, & Ruby.  Everyone was so good, except for Izzy.  She told Camille off a couple of times and let everyone know they were mean.

We stopped in Twin Falls to see the gorge and took potty breaks in Old Navy.  By that time, our car had downed mini Charleston Chews, chocolate-covered tootsie rolls, Skittles, and Thelma's Frozen Lemonade.  See?  I have to eat all this stuff cuz they don't have it all in VA!

I tried so hard bringing Ruby home with me, but McKay wouldn't let me.  I swear, she is the cutest, sweetest little girl--I couldn't get enough of her!!!

{1st night in Sun Valley}

We ate at the usual pizza joint and then waited by the car for Michele and Ash (who ended up going home in another car and we didn't know it :))  Anyways, we got a few pics of these cute kiddos and then Camille finished off the night with a nice bubble bath with 3 cute little girls.

{hattie & buggy}

i just needed 5 minutes, and that's all it took to get cute little Hattie in my parents' little buggy.  Isn't she just the cutest?  And yes, she was totally safe, I promise!!!

LOOOOVE her.
