Our Vacation to Idaho

Before we left for Idaho, Chad got "Guitar Hero" for his birthday. We have had so much fun with this game~

Reagan sang in the church choir before we left, she did so well and looked beautiful.
We let the kids open some gifts before we left.
The big kids got a Nintendo DS lite and Jackson got a Leapster.

Jackson loved the plane ride

Reagan slept alot on the plane

Here is the view from our little puddle jumper airplane from Seattle to Idaho~ It is kind of scary to look out your window to see that~ lol

On our way to town one day we saw some wild turkey!
There was LOTS of snow while we were there...a winter wonderland~
This is our view of Chicago on the way back home.
