Summer Road Trip, Part 4: Heading for Home

We left Boise on Thursday afternoon and headed east again, stopping briefly at Andrea's folks place before making the marathon trip back home. It was good to see them again.

Grandpa's tractor gets big points with Paxton

A couple of summers ago Steve made a coaster cart for the kids out of scrap lumber and some old wheelchair wheels. The kids love it, dragging it out every time we visit and spending hours pushing each other to the top of the driveway and zipping back down or rolling down the grass hill in front of the house.

Anya gives her brothers a push.

Kenrick and Anthony picked a few raspberries for Grandma. Yum!

Paxton picked for a while too, but petered out after half a bowl. I think most of the berries got eaten.

There's nothing like the summer sunset in Idaho Falls. 

A Pandemonium Sandwich!

Grandma enjoys a little quiet time with Miss Pincushion.

Well, the stay was too short as usual, but sweet as always. It was time to head home, so we piled the crew back into the van and hit the familiar road once again.

If the success of a vacation is measured by how tuckered out the kids are on the return trip home, then this one certainly ranked towards the top.
