Idaho - Part 6 (July Activities)

As I mentioned in part 1, we managed to cram a lot of activities into a short period of time.  It's so nice for us to be out of the AZ heat, to be in a place that is removed from the city, where there is nature and wildlife all around and where the boys can get dirty, drive tractors and be boys.
 One major project the boys did was build the 3,296 piece Star Wars Lego Sandcrawler.  It's the biggest set they've built and it kept them busy for a week. 
 My favorite thing to do in the evenings is watch the deer feed on the rolling green hills. One day we nearly hit this deer and she jumped across the road with baby following closely behind. 

We ate delicious treats including smores.  
 Logan and Lincoln both did well at primary for the time we were there. This was something that Logan made at church and brought home. 
 Just hanging out eating dinner downstairs. 
 Logan loves playing with Minnie. She is really good to him and puts up with him when he's not so gentle. Logan is definitely an animal lover. 
 Lincoln lost both front teeth on this trip. This is the first front tooth he lost while we were there. He ended up asking the tooth fairy if he could keep his tooth and he still made out with a buck!
 We are lucky enough to celebrate Grandma Tutu's birthday with her each year when we're in Idaho. She picked up some delicious cakes at a special bakery in Utah to celebrate.
 The grandkids all helped open cards and presents for her. 

 Logan made special pottery at Idaho State University one day as part of his summer camp activities.
 Lost his second front tooth. 
 Playing out on Tutu's balcony. 
 I love seeing the boys just play outside and be boys. 
 We managed to sneak in a couple of late night train game sessions. This was the finished board.
On our last night in town Lincoln and I got to go on a special date night with Tutus, Aunt Natalee and Erica. Tutu took us to a fun dinner theater where we ate a delicious dinner and watch a full length production of Annie Get Your Gun!
 Lincoln did a remarkable job of sitting through the play that ended up being about two and half hours. He seemed to follow the storyline just fine and seemed to really enjoy it.
