It was so cute to see all the cousins playing together. Everyone was so sweet with Sarah. Samantha was her secret cousin and she made the cutest little purse/bag and bracelets. We had games, a treasure hunt, duck boat races (ours came in 2nd), and a hike to see Strawberry Lake. Unfortunately, Nathan got sick the first day and spent most of the reunion asleep in the tent. So Sarah and I tried the hike, but since snow was covering most of the trail, we didn't make it too far before Sarah had had it. "E" for effort I guess. Then we headed back to the Treasure Valley for the big Floyd reunion. The last Sunday in June they hold a potluck in the park. It has been going on for 50+ years and is seriously the best potluck ever. Homemade ice cream, fried chicken, and every salad you can imagine. Super delish.
We stopped by mom and dad's on our way back home because Dad picked strawberries for me. Nice or what?! Not only is Dad the master gardener of america, but he also shares. I got super spoiled this year because mom called and asked how many strawberries I wanted, washed, stemmed, and mashed them for me. I know I'm spoiled...but hopefully not too rotten. We got to visit with them for a while and Dad read stories to Sarah while filling her with gummi bears.
And since I haven't posted anything for a while, here's a little catch up stuff:
For Mother's Day Nathan fixed the tires on my bike and the bike trailer. I have been in love with riding my bike around Rigby. I might look like the wicked witch of the west riding around on my bike, but I don’t care. Sarah rides in the trailer and we explore. My REAL gift for Mother's Day is going to Les Miserables in Boise this September, but Nathan was so nice to give me labor time on fixing the bike as well.
June 4th was our 8th wedding anniversary. Nathan had the day off so we got a sitter and watched Avengers (I know...totally romantic) and got couples massages. I am totally addicted to those. I seriously could get a massage twice and day.
Rigby just had their Stampede Days. They have a cute little hometown parade and rodeo. Sarah and I went to the parade (on the bike of course) and she actually realized what was happening this year. Her favorite highlights from the parade were seeing Oscar the Grouch and a tooth from a dentist office that waved at her and threw her a new toothbrush. Not too tough to keep her happy. :) She still asks when we're going to the parade again. Luckily there is another one July 4th. At the beginning of the parade, everyone stands for the flag. I told Sarah to stand and tried to quickly explain why we do that. Well, every float that had any type of flag on it Sarah told me to stand and put my arm over my tummy. :)
