Part 3
I can't even begin to explain how much fun it was to see my family and be in Rexburg for three weeks! Every day was a party at Grandpa and Nana Rigby's house! Some of my favorite memories include:
Swimming in the new pool Grandpa purchased, riding bikes at the church parking lot, watching Kate make lasagna with Nana, having John fly out to spend a week with us in Rexburg, going to the cabin, playmill and our favorite ice cream joint in Ashton, eating out (I especially enjoyed Sizzler and Chiz's), being at the hospital when my sister gave birth to her first baby girl Ella!!, holding Ella, watching Hailey and Kate hold Ella, going to Pocatello with John and staying and Logan and Lisa's house, eating The Popcorn Shop popcorn in Pocatello...yummy!, talking to my Grandpa Rigby and watching how much my girls loved to talk to him, seeing my cousins Rachel, Rebecca, Tara, Liza and all of their kids, poddin' peas, shucking corn, visiting with my Grandma and Grandpa Sparks, visiting with my old high school buddies Lexie and Kate at McDonald's (I can't find the picture I took of us!!!), visiting Nicole and her kids at the Americ Inn, watching my girls jump on the same tramp I jumped on when I was a kid, going to the International Fold Dance Festival, attending Lisa's baby showers, seeing my brother Ryan (love you bro.), going to the movies and bowling at The Rex, sewing burp rags and way too many other things to mention!
Once again thank you Mom and Dad for making this trip a special one! Thank you Annie and Emily for everything you did to make my stay a pleasant one! (you guys are the best babysitters I could ask for!!)
I just have to note that a funny thing happened at the cabin that the kids still talk about today. I was in the paddle boat with Hailey and Kate when all of a sudden Kate screams, "My Binky!" Of course she had dropped it in the water and of course I didn't have my swimming suit or life jacket on. I reached as far as I could only to have the binky drift further and further away. I wasn't going to lose our only binky so I reached a little further and with the weight of my huge belly I lost my balance and fell in. The girls were screaming, "The Binky!" and I was just trying not to lose my flip flops. After I retrieved the binky the girls were then worried about me and started crying. Getting back in the paddle boat was a challenge, and let's just say I was pretty darn sore the next day!
Saying good bye to my sister and new baby niece wasn't fun!
