Idaho

The second weekend in April was guys weekend at the cabin.  Mia and I decided that instead of staying home alone we would head up to Idaho and enjoy a long weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Cobbley and Uncle Shawn.  It was a great break away and Mia had a blast!  They have an awesome new playground in Pocatello.  I think Mia would have stayed there all day if we'd let her.  Sadly we only had nice weather one day so we only got to go once.  We will definitely be going again next time we got to Idaho.  It's called an all inclusive playground so it had something for every kid of every age and ability.  Mia loved the big wide slide
 Of course she had to show off her dare devil side on it too.
They had various structures representing Pocatello's history.  Mia had fun playing in the tee pee.
 Playing on the train with Uncle Shawn
 Steering the massive ship.  I don't think Pocatello has ever had a ship but that's OK, it makes for fun for little kids.
 The rope net made me a little nervous but it didn't phase Mia.
 She made it all the way to the top without falling.
 What playground is complete without swings.
 This playground even had drums
 And chimes, Mia tried out her musical side.
 The best part was just getting to climb all over everything.
 I decided these were placed for parental enjoyment.  They are off balance cups so when the kids get in them they spin.  Mia wanted us to push her at first but she quickly realized any little bit of movement would cause the cup to spin.
 We were mean and kept pulling her out and making her walk around.  It was hilarious because she was so dizzy.  I should have gotten a video of her stumbling everywhere.  Luckily the whole playground has a rubber ground so when the kids fall they don't hurt themselves.
 Mia also discovered how much fun the poof pillow is.  Shawn would pick her up and throw her over the couch into the pillow.
 I remember doing the same thing as a kid with our old poof pillow.  Shawn even tried to show her how to jump off the couch into it but she doesn't quite have the jumping thing down so instead she would just stand on the couch and fall into it.
 She thought it was hilarious when Grandma got her with the vacuum.
 Even though it was cold outside Mia still convinced Grandpa to play with her on the swing set.
 She's gotten so good at using the big kid swings.
 Grandma even let Mia ride her bike in the house.  I've had to remind her a few times when she's trying to haul her bike in the house that we only ride bikes in Grandma's house.
 I went to the spring book club luncheon with my mom and Uncle Shawn babysat for me.  When we got home this was what we walked in to.  Quite the impressive fort.
 Mia hanging out with her Buddy!
 After a busy weekend of playing hard, this was the result on the way home.
Thanks for the great time in Idaho!
