21 March 2009

We're posting a day early as we near the end of the Idaho leg of our vacation. We spent the first night of our trip with Rob and Amy's family and sadly forgot to take any photos. Thanks for your wonderful hospitality!

We spent Friday in Twin Falls, picnicking along the Snake River. Zina, Abe and Sophie are posing in front of the Perrine Bridge which is a popular site for BASE jumping.


The basalt bluffs were perfect for scrambling.


Saturday we went ice skating at Sun Valley Village. Helen loved ice skating, although in her case it looked like she was just being dragged around the rink.


Sophie was pretty independent on the ice.


Abe could let go of the edge by the time we left. He still stayed close to something to hold on to.


The best part of our trip has been the company. Sophie and Zina are inseparable. Someone in Sun Valley delighted them by calling them sisters. (Sophie is wearing her sporty new glasses.)

Sawyer and Gibson are visual opposites, but have the same easy-going personalities. They enjoyed playing together and we enjoyed laughing at their antics.


All the cousins together: Sy, Gibson, Abe, Sophie, Sawyer, Helen and Zina. Thanks, Joe and Sarah for making our visit so fun! Thanks, Joe and Keri, for the long drive to see us! We already miss you all!

What a wonderful way to spend a vacation. It is also nice for my children to see how their cousins look now. They are all growing so fast.

I love that photo of Abe all 'Cool' against the rail. What a fun family trip, with so many cousins!
