Labor Day Fun

For Labor Day weekend, we went up to visit my parents in Rexburg. Even though it was a bit short (we had to be back here for an event on Monday), it was a fun visit.

We arrived on Saturday evening and I was able to take Thomas' senior pictures that night. I can't believe my little brother is a senior!! Then, after church on Sunday, we had a nice visit with my friend Heather, whom I've known since high school. It was so fun to catch up with her and to see her cute family again.

In the evening, we all went outside and played with the potato gun that Sam built. We shot everything from potatoes to G.I. Joe figures to flour out of that thing, and the boys succeeded in breaking part of the fence in the back yard.

While all this was going on, the boys had fun feeding the horses.

About .25 seconds before he dropped it for fear of getting his hand bitten off:

Grandpa Johansen also made it up for a visit and brought his lady friend, Josie, who is a singer from England. When it was too dark for the potato gun, we all went inside and had a fun time singing songs in the living room.

What a fun trip!
