PETE AND JENN VISIT BUHL

On Thursday May 21, Pete and Jenn arrived for a weekend in Buhl. We were blessed with great weather the days that they were here. Liam and Karis had the chance to get reacquainted with cousins, aunts, uncles and grandpa and grandma as we ate nachos at El Cazador with family and friends, peanuts on the patio on the dairy, carrot cake in honor of Brad's birthday in Twin Falls, and spinach dip and french bread at Elly and Rob's house. If there's a saying that goes, "The family that eats, stays together," we are on the way!

Sofia and Karis watch "Ratatouille" in the toy room.

Sofia and Liam find some cheap entertainment in a puddle on the sidewalk.

Pete and Jenn take their little family to Balanced Rock to hike and to enjoy the park.

Lizzie welcomes us to her house for dinner on Saturday night.

Grace and Kaya are good buddies.

Karis shows an excited smile.

Uncle Brad building his model rocket

Tante Adriana carefully follows the instructions that come with her rocket.

Joey checks out the weather to see if the wind is too strong to launch. We all decide that it's too breezy to launch, and to save the rockets for another visit. A disappointed Joey heads home after the decision.

As everyone else prepares to leave, someone suggests we launch just one of the rockets anyway. That plan quickly escalates to include all the rockets,...except for Joey's.

Pete and Jenn watch "the show" with Karis and Liam in tow.

Sisters Kaya and Ava huddle in the doorway of Elly and Robbie's house, not knowing what to expect.

Uh-Oh, where did Lizzie's rocket go? It looks like the wind carried it into the trees.

We were able to find most of the rockets far out in the fields on the Castleford farm.

Sunday morning Liam is dressed for the day, ready for the drive to Boise and the plane trip home.
