l.f.o.

eric & i + my parents headed up to idaho this past weekend.
very exciting things were awaiting us....namely....
1. our washer & dryer {thanks b&b}
2. my gparents house. it has 10 bedrooms and is very vintage/retro.
needless to say i want a few treasures inside of it.
3. the awesome views while driving.
4. my parents were picking up a desk.
and
5. the LARSEN family reunion!!
our reunions aren't the dinky get together @ the park for a couple of hours and flat chat...they are all out!
ever since i was a little girl i remember going to our family get reunions.
because of this tradition, i have grown close to a lot of my cousins...and i have around 100
we can get pretty crazy when we are all together but that is what makes it SO FUN!
this year it was held @ LAVA hot springs.
we did crafts, took a horse drawn carriage ride to dinner, swam in the "big" pool, i was brave enough to jump of the olympic size platform...33 ft high! {last time i did it, the wind was knocked out of me}eric played an intense basketball game, had family catch ups, strolled the little town, ate square ice cream, went to the HOT pools, played in the hotel that was booked just  for us, midnight mafia games of course, minute to win it games, and then my grandparents who had ten children...{still blows my mind} left us with words of wisdom as always {and shar :)}

it was my moms turn to plan & she did a superb job!
look at my cute parents! they were married in the idaho falls temple

eric is a natural with the family....thank heavens:)










we can't wait until next year!!
xoxo
