Jerome time with the Canadians.

Our Canadian kin came down to Idaho for a visit this week so we made the drive up to good ol' Jerome to hang out and have some much needed cousin time.

And let me tell you... those kiddos stayed busy!

Here's a brief run down of the festivities...

movies...

cookies...

wiffle ball...

grandpa cuddles...

and the Jerome fair kick off parade!

As you can tell Peter was a little nervous. It was his first parade and didn't totally get what was going on.

He did appreciate the candy though. And oh my heck guys... this parade was nuts! We weren't even sitting at the beginning and we came home with ten pounds of candy. Naturally we dumped it out on the table and sorted it all.

Seriously. Chaos.

The next day we visited the Jerome Fair and saw all sorts of animals and ate some de-licious elephant ears. An absolute must if you're at a fair in Idaho.

These chickens reminded me of my mom... because she likes pretty chickens.

We also snagged a few balloons (aka puppies... I know, don't ask me, ask Peter).

The rugrats themselves... and one more little girl will be here in November! Peter and Calvin will have three whole cousins! (:

The ride home was mostly uneventful...

until we hit hour three... then Peter woke up and had had enough. Poor kid. He played so hard! Things get pretty emotional when you're exhausted, strapped to your booster seat, and you miss your cousins.

And that's a wrap. It was a quick 36 hours but we had loads of fun and we're so glad so got to see Keith'n'Courtney and their girls. Good luck getting home and good luck with girly #3! Luvskies.
