Joys of Idaho

Our friends the Boyles recently invited us to join them on a road trip home to Idaho before the fall semester starts, and we decided it sounded like a fun adventure. We arrived yesterday, and Joy has already found a lot of things to love about the Gem State (or Spud State, depending on who you ask).

For example, Steve's mom has a cool garden (Joy was particularly pleased to discover that she grows carrots). His mom also has a cool name: Joy. We've taken to calling her "Grandma Joy," and our daughter "Little Joy."

Nicole's family doesn't live on a farm but they still have lots of fun things for a little girl to do, like make a drawing ten yards long . . .

. . . or bounce on a giant trampoline with Jackson.

More Idaho fun to come . . .
