Idaho trip

 This cute man is my Grandpa. He passed away a couple of weeks ago so we made the trip up to Idaho where he lived with my grandma for the funeral. He was a wonderful, funny, hard working man who lived a very full life. He worked as a volunteer firefighter and so they had a fire engine there to pay tribute at the church where the funeral was. He was also in the military so he was able to have the 21 gun salute at the burial site. It was a bitter sweet day because my grandpa was ready to go for a few months now. He had Alzheimer disease and didn't remember who anyone was or where he was most of the time. So it's nice to know now that he's out of his misery but we will miss him a lot! Many tears were shed that day!


 This is Cody comforting my his great grandma at the burial site. He kept giving her hugs the whole time we were there. But he was strong and didn't cry at all. 

 later that week we attended a cousin's birthday party and the community pool for the cousins to swim and play. They all ended up laying on the sidewalk within half an hour after getting there.
 There was a lot of Lego playing at great grandma's house. The legos are over 30 years old but still have lots of fun to be had.
 We also attended the rodeo before coming home. Cody was pretty impressed and entertained.
