After leaving Draper we started the trek up to Boise, ID. On the way up there we were able to stop in Ogden to visit with one of Wes' mission companions. It was so fun to see them and they have a 1 year-old that we hadn't seen yet so it was good to catch up. After saying goodbye to them we got back on the road and headed up to Idaho. It wasn't as far this time but we still drove through the night so Reid could sleep the whole way. The trip went great and and we arrived at Wes' grandparent's house in the very early morning. They live in Kuna which is right next to Boise.
A lot of Wes' family lives in Idaho so we got to see a lot of people while we were there. His grandparent's house is beautiful and on a bunch of land. It wasn't that cold outside on the day we got there and Reid had been inside for so long that after we got some sleep we took Reid out on a little walk to check out the property. Reid loved being outside and looking at everything. He got to see some horses and he could not stop staring at them and they could not stop staring at him. It was too funny!
Later that night his Aunt Virgina and her family came over to visit and have Sunday dinner. We got to see some of Wes' cousins and their kids. It was great to see them and their kids fell in love with Reid. They were all so cute and so good with him. He loved to just stare at them as they ran around the house and when they stopped to play with him, he could not have been happier.
Over the next few days we got to see the Gillians, who were a family from our old ward and who actually lived on my street growing up. They moved up to Boise a few years ago so it was super fun to see them and to catch up. We also got to see the Meachams which are a family that is super close to Wes' family. It is always fun to see them and show Reid off to everyone. Two of Wes' uncles also live up there so we visited with them as well. It was a very busy few days and we were exhausted. It might have had something to do with the fact that Reid came down with a cold while we were there and had a really hard time sleeping. It was so sad because he just couldn't breathe laying down and he would wake himself up by crying in order to get a breath. Wes and I took turns being up with him and eventually had him sleep in his carseat because it was the only way he could breathe. He was such a trooper and went along with everything. He was such a good boy and adapted so well to us being all over and in so many different places. By the end we were ready to go home. We had a 13 hour drive ahead of us and we drove through the night again. Reid was truly amazing and only woke up twice in the whole 13 hours. I was shocked at how good he was the whole trip. It was super fun to go up there and see everyone but I don't know if we will be doing that long of a trip for a while. I am tired just thinking about it!
