We had a great time at Grandma & Grandpas house in Shelly. Grandma had the game monopoly, which our kids had never played. They have played monopoly deal a lot, and are pretty good at it. They like the real game just as much and stayed with it to the end.
Alyssa played with play-do while we played monopoly. Then Dallin decided to join in on the fun and do both at the same time.
Grandma was the banker/entertainer during monopoly. She played candy land with the little girls. What a fun Grandma, we are glad she is willing to play games.
Fishing! Grandma and Grandpa took us to a beautiful stocked fishing pond in Idaho Falls. Dallin was really excited to catch some fish.
We had a nice picnic lunch and then got the poles ready. The kids had already practiced casting in at Grandmas house before we came, so they were anxious to try in in the water.
Even Alyssa tried her hand at fishing. The only problem, there were no fish in the pond. They were going to stock it that weekend, but it had not been done yet. Later that week, after it had been stocked, Jeff took Dallin, Corey, and Grandpa Ricks back to try again. They still had no luck, but Grandpa Pirtle was able to catch two, after our guys had left.
It was a really nice pond and a fun place to hang out for a couple of hours. Hopefully we can try again this summer and have better luck. Even without good luck, it was still fun.
Thanks Grandma & Grandpa for a great couple of days with you. We really enjoyed it.
