Preston Rocks!!!!

We just got back from what can only be described as the best vacation ever!

That's saying a lot, I know. Especially since we were in Preston Idaho!

But seriously it was everything I had hoped for and more!

My good friend Chelise and a few of my other friends are from there have talked about how amazing Preston is for the last 2 or 3 years that I've known them. I've tried to make a girls trip happen and that never panned out so luckily for me my cute husband was a good sport and went with us. Poor guy. It turned out to be Seth and the women, since no husbands came.

But I think he would admit that it was a great time.

We pulled into town and literally from the moment we got there until the moment we left were busy doing fun things.

We picked the right time to go, since it was the annual Preston rodeo and parade.

This parade is great because it's the same parade for 3 nights in a row. What other city does that?

Also Chelsie's dad owns the big restaurant in town so he had a float in the parade that all the kids got to ride in. Oh and did I mention the food? I think I gained about 30lbs trying everything his place had to offer. So if you're ever in town check out Big J's.

So on top of watching and being in the parade, and eating at Big J's there was also a carnival (where Claire rode by herself in the very front of a roller coaster(not even her big sister would do it), playing in granny's back yard (best backyard ever. pictures wouldn't do it justice), another free carnival the next day and riding ponies at Chelsie's sisters house.

I'm out of breath just thinking about all we did in 24 hours.

We didn't even have time for the Napoleon Dynamite tour. Maybe next time.

All the kids in the Big J's float for the parade. My favorite was everyone yelling at them to stop throwing candy because they were going to run out. And sure enough Claire and Wyatt ran out.

I heard something in the middle of the night and went to check on the twins and this is how I found them sleeping
