Romney, Grandparents, and Cousins

We had a great weekend in Idaho! We drove through a blizzard (just part of the way, but it was still awful) on Thursday to go to a Mitt Romney rally in Idaho Falls. Micheal's sister offered to take the kids, but we were running so late they came with us! It was a huge crowd! They had to divide it into two rooms and he spoke in both. We were lucky to be pretty close to the front, but when he came around to shake hands, I felt like people were trying to jump over me! It was fun, although I don't think I will ever take my kids to such an event ever again!!! They did not appreciate the long wait!
At one point Samantha was so tired she started yelling, "Stop! Stop!" While Romney was talking. Oops!!! She loves to retell the story. Needless to say, Michael took her off his shoulders in a hurry.


After the rally, we stayed at my parents house for a night. The next night the kids stayed again while Michael and I stayed in Idaho Falls. It was a late anniversary celebration. We watched movies and ate yummy food and didn't have to pause the movies once to take care of kids!!! It was so fun!!! The kids had fun with Grandma and Grandpa. Samantha did some "Sweating to the Oldies" with Aunt Eliza. Read books with Grandma. And helped Grandpa plow the driveway! Loved to push the button to lower the blade.

The next night we stayed at Suzie's house (Michael's sister). We had a fun get together with all the siblings in Idaho. Samantha loved playing with her cousins, especially Erin (I wish I had a picture)!
